Verdict

The call

Password Manager and App Lock both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 88% of App Lock's written reviews are positive against 30% of Password Manager's. App Lock also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 8) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Password Manager's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (17K vs 183). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Password Manager holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Password Manager has 17K ratings behind it against 183, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 30% of Password Manager's written reviews are positive against 88% of App Lock's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Password Manager ships an update every 2 months, App Lock every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 4, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
