Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Strips Camera at 5.0 against Beautiful Lock's 3.7. Strips Camera also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 5 months). Beautiful Lock's advantage is ratings volume (14 vs 1) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
