PM Lite: Password Manager is a 100% offline password management application that enables users to store, organize, and manage their passwords, notes and other sensitive information locally on their devices without relying on cloud-based services. Highly Secure Offline Passwords Manager Application: This application is 100% offline without even having the internet connection in this application. It stores data only on the user's device and encrypts it using AES-256 bit encryption, ensuring high security and privacy. Multiple Login Types: The application offers users the flexibility to choose from three different login types: Pattern, Passwords, and Biometric. Malicious Login Detection: The app locks itself temporarily for a specified period of time after multiple failed login attempts, protecting against unauthorized access and brute-force attacks. Category-wise Data Organization: The application offers a hierarchical organization system, allowing users to categorize their data using multi-level categories. This means that users can create nested categories to structure their information effectively. Within these categories, users can store passwords, notes, and other relevant data. Password Generator: The application includes a Password Generator tool that assists users in creating highly secure passwords. Weak & Repeated Passwords Alert: To enhance password security and assist users in managing their passwords effectively, the application provides a dedicated feature that lists all repeated and weak passwords separately. Multiple View Types: The application incorporates a user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) feature that allows users to choose between two different views for displaying their data: tile view or list view. Multiple Color Themes: At present, this application provides support for two distinct color themes: "Dark" and "Light." Users have the option to choose between these two themes based on their preference and visual comfort. Multiple Language Support: At present, the application provides support for a wide range of languages, surpassing 14 language options. Export Data: Since the Passwords Manager application operates entirely offline, transferring data to a new device requires a manual export of their data from the current device and securely stores it somewhere before uninstalling the application. File Import Data: Passwords Manager allows users to effortlessly import their passwords from various file formats. Whether it's a Google CSV file, a Passwords Manager (.txt) file, or a Passwords Manager (.csv) file, the application provides the flexibility to import data from other sources. Bookmark: The application provides users with the ability to bookmark their most frequently accessed data, enabling quick and convenient access whenever needed.. Auto Logout Application: This functionality ensures that if the application is left unattended or unused for a specified period, it will automatically log out to protect sensitive information from unauthorized access.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: PM Lite at none against SafeKey's shown. PM Lite also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). SafeKey's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
