# Kaspersky vs mSecure

The clearest difference is rating: mSecure at 4.8 against Kaspersky's 4.5. mSecure also leads on ratings volume (51K vs 2.8K) and chart position (#188 vs unranked). Kaspersky's advantage is review sentiment (76% vs 62%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Kaspersky sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and mSecure sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

mSecure holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: mSecure has 51K ratings behind it against 2.8K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of Kaspersky's written reviews are positive against 62% of mSecure's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Kaspersky ships an update every 6 weeks, mSecure every 2 months. Both last shipped on September 26, 2026.
