Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Best Secret Folder at 4.7 against Secure Folder PRO's 3.6. Best Secret Folder also leads on ratings volume (13K vs 77) and monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs paid). Secure Folder PRO's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
