Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Lockdown Logic (New) holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lockdown Logic (New) has 405 ratings behind it against 43, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 43% of YoLink's written reviews are positive against 33% of Lockdown Logic (New)'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
YoLink ships an update every 3 weeks, Lockdown Logic (New) every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
