Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: eSecure 2.0 at 4.6 against Clearly Anywhere's 2.8. eSecure 2.0 also leads on ratings volume (7.9K vs 25) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 5 months). Clearly Anywhere's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
eSecure 2.0 holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: eSecure 2.0 has 7.9K ratings behind it against 25, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 32% of eSecure 2.0's written reviews are positive against 36% of Clearly Anywhere's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
eSecure 2.0 ships an update every 6 weeks, Clearly Anywhere every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
