# F vs Safe Security App

The clearest difference is monetization model: Safe Security App at freemium against F's subscription. Safe Security App also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 6 weeks). F's advantage is ratings volume (107K vs 5.3K) and rating (4.6 vs 4.4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. F sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Safe Security App sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

F holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: F has 107K ratings behind it against 5.3K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 57% of F's written reviews are positive against 44% of Safe Security App's.

F ships an update every 6 weeks, Safe Security App every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
