# iDataSafe vs Secure X

The clearest difference is rating: Secure X at 4.4 against iDataSafe's 3.6. Secure X also leads on review sentiment (77% vs 55%) and ratings volume (189 vs 9). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iDataSafe sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Secure X sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Secure X holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Secure X has 189 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two.
