# Secure Folder PRO vs Google Chrome

The clearest difference is rating: Google Chrome at 4.7 against Secure Folder PRO's 3.6. Google Chrome also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (4.1M vs 77). Secure Folder PRO's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Secure Folder PRO sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Google Chrome sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Google Chrome holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Google Chrome has 4.1M ratings behind it against 77, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 57% of Secure Folder PRO's written reviews are positive against 61% of Google Chrome's.

Secure Folder PRO ships an update every 3 months, Google Chrome weekly. Both last shipped on November 13, 2026.
