ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

AppLocker holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AppLocker has 391 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 37% of AppLocker's written reviews are positive against 100% of Password Manager's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

AppLocker ships an update every 2 weeks, Password Manager monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
