Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Passpass at free with in-app purchases against Photo/Message Lock's subscription. Passpass also leads on review sentiment (79% vs 43%) and rating (4.9 vs 4.4). Photo/Message Lock's advantage is ratings volume (796 vs 47). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
