Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: E at 5.0 against LOCKLY®'s 4.5. E also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 11). LOCKLY®'s advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 8 months) and ratings volume (8K vs 1). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. LOCKLY® sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $2.00 per month. E asks for nothing beyond the download.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

E holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LOCKLY® has 8K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 47% of LOCKLY®'s written reviews are positive against 36% of E's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

LOCKLY® ships an update monthly, E every 8 months. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 4, 2026 respectively.
