Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Lincoln™ at none against LoJack's 1. Lincoln™ also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). LoJack's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.9 vs 4.7). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and device support there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. LoJack sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $129.99 per year. Lincoln™ asks for nothing beyond the download.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

LoJack holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 94K and 137K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 44% of LoJack's written reviews are positive against 49% of Lincoln™'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

LoJack ships an update every 2 months, Lincoln™ fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 18, 2026.
