# App Lock™ vs Fingerprint X

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Fingerprint X at 70% against App Lock™'s 19%. Fingerprint X also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ads (none vs shown). App Lock™'s advantage is rating (4.5 vs 3.2) and ratings volume (2.6K vs 18). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. App Lock™ sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Fingerprint X sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

App Lock™ holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: App Lock™ has 2.6K ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 19% of App Lock™'s written reviews are positive against 70% of Fingerprint X's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

App Lock™ ships an update every 5 weeks, Fingerprint X every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
