# Locket Widget vs Keepin

The clearest difference is rating: Locket Widget at 4.8 against Keepin's 3.8. Locket Widget also leads on ratings volume (585K vs 4) and chart position (#15 vs unranked). Keepin's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Locket Widget sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Keepin sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Locket Widget holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Locket Widget has 585K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of Locket Widget's written reviews are positive against 83% of Keepin's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Locket Widget ships an update every 5 days, Keepin every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
