# Themify vs LockWidget

The clearest difference is ads: Themify at none against LockWidget's shown. Themify also leads on ratings volume (345K vs 28K) and chart position (#11 vs #180). LockWidget's advantage is review sentiment (56% vs 45%). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Themify sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and LockWidget sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Themify against 4.5 for LockWidget. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Themify has 345K ratings behind it against 28K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 45% of Themify's written reviews are positive against 56% of LockWidget's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 26, 2026.
