Save your locker number in seconds. Find it again on your iPhone’s Home Screen or Lock Screen when you need it. • Scan the locker number with on-device recognition, or type it in. • Add an optional lock code protected by Face ID or your device passcode. Codes stay off widgets and the Lock Screen. • See your number in a widget, Live Activity, or Dynamic Island. • Set an automatic forget time or clear a locker immediately. LockerThing is built for gyms, pools, spas, schools, and other temporary lockers. It has no account, ads, analytics, tracking, or cloud storage. Scanning runs only while you hold the read button; no photo is taken or saved.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: LockerThing at none against HIDVCAM's 23. LockerThing also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 5 weeks). HIDVCAM's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.4). On price there is nothing between them.
