Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: LockSwitch at none against Themes's shown. LockSwitch also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.5). Themes's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 12 months) and ratings volume (2.1K vs 8). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Themes sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and LockSwitch sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
LockSwitch holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Themes has 2.1K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Themes ships an update every 2 weeks, LockSwitch every 12 months. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and August 27, 2026 respectively.
