Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Padloc at free against Seafile Pro's paid. Padloc also leads on rating (3.6 vs 3.1) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 14.0). Seafile Pro's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (53 vs 10). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Padloc holds the better App Store score, 3.6 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Seafile Pro has 53 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 42% and 41% positive.
Seafile Pro ships an update monthly, Padloc every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 9, 2026 and June 1, 2026 respectively.
