Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Decision Logic at free with in-app purchases against Lock Notes's subscription. Decision Logic also leads on review sentiment (80% vs 54%). Lock Notes's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.4 vs 4.1). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Lock Notes sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Decision Logic sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Lock Notes holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lock Notes has 138 ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 54% of Lock Notes's written reviews are positive against 80% of Decision Logic's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Lock Notes ships an update every 10 days, Decision Logic every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
