# iSafe Pro vs Cape

The clearest difference is price: Cape at Free against iSafe Pro's $0.99. Cape also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.1) and ads (none vs shown). iSafe Pro's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 17.4). On review sentiment, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Cape is free to download; iSafe Pro costs $0.99 up front. iSafe Pro sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Cape sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Cape holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cape has 15K ratings behind it against 711, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 62% of iSafe Pro's written reviews are positive against 58% of Cape's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

iSafe Pro ships an update fortnightly, Cape every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
