# Password Manager vs Passwords

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Passwords at none against Password Manager's 7. Passwords also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (797K vs 752). Password Manager's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 7 months) and review sentiment (78% vs 64%). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Password Manager sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Passwords asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Password Manager against 4.7 for Passwords. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Passwords has 797K ratings behind it against 752, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 78% of Password Manager's written reviews are positive against 64% of Passwords's.

Password Manager ships an update every 2 months, Passwords every 7 months. Both last shipped on October 17, 2026.
