# Strongbox vs KeePass Touch

The clearest difference is rating: Strongbox at 4.7 against KeePass Touch's 3.7. Strongbox also leads on review sentiment (84% vs 55%) and ratings volume (4.1K vs 342). KeePass Touch's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Strongbox sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and KeePass Touch sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Strongbox holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Strongbox has 4.1K ratings behind it against 342, 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 55% of KeePass Touch's.

Strongbox ships an update fortnightly, KeePass Touch every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
