# Strongbox vs Murble

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Strongbox at 84% against Murble's 33%. Strongbox also leads on rating (4.7 vs 2.8) and ratings volume (4.1K vs 4). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Strongbox sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Murble sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Strongbox holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Strongbox has 4.1K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 84% of Strongbox's written reviews are positive against 33% of Murble's.
