Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Trend Micro Mobile Security at 4.7 against Secure Data's 2.7. Trend Micro Mobile Security also leads on ratings volume (29K vs 30). Secure Data's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 68%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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. Trend Micro Mobile Security sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Secure Data sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Trend Micro Mobile Security holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Trend Micro Mobile Security has 29K ratings behind it against 30, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of Trend Micro Mobile Security's written reviews are positive against 100% of Secure Data's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
