Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Calculator+ Secure Vault at free with in-app purchases against App Lock™'s subscription. Calculator+ Secure Vault also leads on review sentiment (50% vs 19%) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). App Lock™'s advantage is ratings volume (2.6K vs 105) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
