# The Birdcage vs Lock Pick 3D

The clearest difference is rating: The Birdcage at 4.7 against Lock Pick 3D's 4.1. The Birdcage also leads on ratings volume (46K vs 9). Lock Pick 3D's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. The Birdcage sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Lock Pick 3D asks for nothing beyond the download.

The Birdcage holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Birdcage has 46K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of The Birdcage's written reviews are positive against 70% of Lock Pick 3D's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

The Birdcage ships an update every 4 months, Lock Pick 3D every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
