Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: VicoHome at 4.9 against DDLock's 2.8. VicoHome also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (115K vs 105). DDLock's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 26) and ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
