Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: S1 Security at 3.0 against i's 1.8. i's advantage is update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (26 vs 2). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

S1 Security holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 1.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: i has 26 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 7% of i's written reviews are positive against 0% of S1 Security's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

i ships an update every 4 weeks, S1 Security every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on September 9, 2026 and September 11, 2026 respectively.
