Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: App Lock at 4.5 against Ridmik Keyboard's 3.8. App Lock also leads on review sentiment (58% vs 36%) and ratings volume (5.3K vs 672). Ridmik Keyboard's advantage is monetization model (free vs subscription) and ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Ridmik Keyboard sells 14 one-off in-app purchases and App Lock sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
App Lock holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: App Lock has 5.3K ratings behind it against 672, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 36% of Ridmik Keyboard's written reviews are positive against 58% of App Lock's.
Ridmik Keyboard ships an update weekly, App Lock fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 22, 2026.
