Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. iDataSafe sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and mSecure sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
mSecure holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: mSecure has 51K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 55% of iDataSafe's written reviews are positive against 62% of mSecure's.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on July 4, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
