Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Tapplock at none against AppLock's shown. Tapplock also leads on rating (4.2 vs 3.8) and ratings volume (248 vs 35). AppLock's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 months) and monetization model (ad-supported vs paid). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support 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.
Tapplock holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tapplock has 248 ratings behind it against 35, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Tapplock's written reviews are positive against 69% of AppLock's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Tapplock ships an update every 2 months, AppLock every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
