KeePassDX free vs libre?

Which would be the best in terms of security and privacy? As far as I know: The Free Version is compiled and signed by the developers, and sent to the Play Store. And the libre Version have no proprietary code, and is not linked to any closed services. But it is automatically signed and compiled from the GitHub repository by F-Droid.

So I'm not sure, which to choose.

DeletedUser34 there is no difference in usage. Each version offers all functionality available.

SerenityNow their wiki also says "In both cases, this versions are available on Github and signed by the creator of the app."

DeletedUser34 If you use the Play Store you get the free version. If you use Obtainium, use the libre version (because of FOSS) unless you need the free version (see Stephan-P ).

Their Github page says:

'The Free version, for everyday use, is the basic version at the Google Play Store. It is compiled and signed by the developers, and sent to the Play Store to be cataloged by Google.

The Libre version is the version provided to have no proprietary code, and is not linked to any closed services. The app is automatically signed and compiled from the GitHub repository by F-Droid. It is possible to unlock the themes with a procedure.'

SerenityNow You did just repeat what I did say...

Stephan-P But they are signed differently and their code is proprietary or not. The Question I meant here is if I should accept F-Droid signing it for no proprietary code or if I should accept proprietary code for the Developers signing it?

DeletedUser34 Right. I should read fully and with more concentration.

DeletedUser34 use the libre version from GitHub, you get FOSS with developer signed apk and fast updates.

doublefree Thank you, then I will download the libre Version, as you said. I saw that IzzyOnDroid Repo only has the free Version, I guess I will suggest them to make the libre Version available too.
