# CAD Plus vs Lock Launcher

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Lock Launcher at 81% against CAD Plus's 25%. Lock Launcher also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (3.9K vs 2). CAD Plus's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CAD Plus sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Lock Launcher sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

CAD Plus holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lock Launcher has 3.9K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of CAD Plus's written reviews are positive against 81% of Lock Launcher's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

CAD Plus ships an update every 6 months, Lock Launcher weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 14, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
