# Password Manager vs mSecure

The clearest difference is price: mSecure at Free against Password Manager's $5.99. mSecure also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.6) and ratings volume (51K vs 6.5K). Password Manager's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 8) and chart position (#179 vs unranked). On update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

mSecure is free to download; Password Manager costs $5.99 up front. mSecure sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month. Password Manager asks for nothing beyond the download.

mSecure holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: mSecure has 51K ratings behind it against 6.5K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Password Manager's written reviews are positive against 62% of mSecure's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
