# X Progress vs LockStart

The clearest difference is update cadence: LockStart at every 6 days against X Progress's every 2 months. LockStart also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. X Progress sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 per month and LockStart sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

X Progress ships an update every 2 months, LockStart every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on September 14, 2026 and May 17, 2026 respectively.
