# PasswordCaptain vs Password Manager

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PasswordCaptain at none against Password Manager's 7. PasswordCaptain also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (88% vs 78%). Password Manager's advantage is ratings volume (752 vs 8) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price, rating, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Password Manager sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. PasswordCaptain asks for nothing beyond the download.

Password Manager holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Password Manager has 752 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 78% of Password Manager'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 August 21, 2026 and August 22, 2026 respectively.
