Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: ARGOplay at 5.0 against Unlock!'s 3.3. ARGOplay also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Unlock!'s advantage is ratings volume (243 vs 1) and review sentiment (37% vs 28%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
ARGOplay holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Unlock! has 243 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 28% of ARGOplay's written reviews are positive against 37% of Unlock!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
ARGOplay ships an update monthly, Unlock! every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
