# Freedom vs Omnilock+

The clearest difference is monetization model: Omnilock+ at freemium against Freedom's subscription. Omnilock+ also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.4). Freedom's advantage is review sentiment (64% vs 33%) and ratings volume (5.9K vs 6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Freedom sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month and Omnilock+ sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $69.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Omnilock+ holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Freedom has 5.9K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of Freedom's written reviews are positive against 33% of Omnilock+'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Freedom ships an update every 9 days, Omnilock+ monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 6, 2026 respectively.
