Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Secretivity at 3.7 against Message Lock's 2.1. Message Lock's advantage is ratings volume (50 vs 3) and review sentiment (8% vs 0%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Secretivity holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 2.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Message Lock has 50 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 8% of Message Lock's written reviews are positive against 0% of Secretivity's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
