Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Thryver at 100% against Lockdown Privacy's 33%. Thryver also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.3) and update cadence (every 11 days vs monthly). Lockdown Privacy's advantage is ratings volume (9.8K vs 20). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Lockdown Privacy sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and Thryver sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
