# Message Lock vs Secretivity

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.

Both are free to download. Message Lock sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $2.99 per month and Secretivity sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

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.
