# Screen Label vs Super App Lock

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Screen Label at none against Super App Lock's 16. Screen Label also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). Super App Lock's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (2.4K vs 93). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Super App Lock sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Screen Label asks for nothing beyond the download.

Super App Lock holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Super App Lock has 2.4K ratings behind it against 93, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 80% of Screen Label's written reviews are positive against 85% of Super App Lock's.

Screen Label ships an update every 4 months, Super App Lock every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
