# Unlock vs Secure Shield Manager

Unlock and Secure Shield Manager both sit at 4.0 stars, but that hides the real split: 91% of Secure Shield Manager's written reviews are positive against 58% of Unlock's. Unlock's advantage is ratings volume (3.4K vs 23) and chart position (#112 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Unlock sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Secure Shield Manager sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.0 for Unlock against 4.1 for Secure Shield Manager. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Unlock has 3.4K ratings behind it against 23, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 58% of Unlock's written reviews are positive against 91% of Secure Shield Manager's.

Unlock ships an update every 6 days, Secure Shield Manager every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and June 1, 2026 respectively.
