Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: NextDNS at free against Info Locker's freemium. NextDNS also leads on ratings volume (1.8K vs 11). Info Locker's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.5) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Info Locker holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NextDNS has 1.8K ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two.
