# Best Secret Folder vs Secure Folder PRO

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.

Both are free to download. Best Secret Folder sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per year and Secure Folder PRO sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Best Secret Folder holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Best Secret Folder has 13K ratings behind it against 77, so its average is the more settled of the two.
