# AdZero vs Phone Security

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: AdZero at none against Phone Security's 11. AdZero also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Phone Security's advantage is ratings volume (3.3K vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Phone Security sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days. AdZero asks for nothing beyond the download.

AdZero holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Phone Security has 3.3K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

AdZero ships an update every 2 months, Phone Security every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on June 4, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
