Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: mSecure at freemium against Stashword's subscription. mSecure also leads on ratings volume (52K vs 135) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 4 months). Stashword's advantage is review sentiment (82% vs 62%). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Stashword sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 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.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Stashword against 4.8 for mSecure.
