# PasswordCaptain vs Helium Mobile

The clearest difference is review sentiment: PasswordCaptain at 88% against Helium Mobile's 51%. PasswordCaptain also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Helium Mobile's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (15K vs 8). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Helium Mobile holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Helium Mobile has 15K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of PasswordCaptain's written reviews are positive against 51% of Helium Mobile's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

PasswordCaptain ships an update every 2 months, Helium Mobile every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on October 3, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
