Both are free to download. LOCK MEMO sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $0.99 per month and Note Widget + sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
LOCK MEMO holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 495 and 438 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of LOCK MEMO's written reviews are positive against 78% of Note Widget +'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 10, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
