# DBLock vs Mono Task

The clearest difference is update cadence: Mono Task at every 2 weeks against DBLock's every 27 months. Mono Task also leads on ratings volume (20 vs 1). DBLock's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. DBLock sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Mono Task sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

DBLock holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mono Task has 20 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

DBLock ships an update every 27 months, Mono Task every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 15, 2026 and September 10, 2026 respectively.
