# Frontpoint vs mySafeTouch

The clearest difference is rating: Frontpoint at 4.3 against mySafeTouch's 3.8. Frontpoint also leads on ratings volume (4.6K vs 163). mySafeTouch's advantage is review sentiment (31% vs 17%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Frontpoint holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Frontpoint has 4.6K ratings behind it against 163, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 17% of Frontpoint's written reviews are positive against 31% of mySafeTouch's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Frontpoint ships an update every 3 months, mySafeTouch every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 20, 2026 and August 15, 2026 respectively.
