# Dashlane Password Manager vs SplashID Classic

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Dashlane Password Manager at 93% against SplashID Classic's 50%. Dashlane Password Manager also leads on ratings volume (107K vs 6) and update cadence (weekly vs every 4 weeks). SplashID Classic's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Dashlane Password Manager sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and SplashID Classic sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

SplashID Classic holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dashlane Password Manager has 107K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 93% of Dashlane Password Manager's written reviews are positive against 50% of SplashID Classic's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
