Paxton Solo holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2.

Written reviews complicate that: 25% of Lockly Manager's written reviews are positive against 0% of Paxton Solo's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Lockly Manager ships an update monthly, Paxton Solo every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
