# Lock Screen 26 vs Top Four

The clearest difference is ads: Top Four at none against Lock Screen 26's shown. Top Four also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). Lock Screen 26's advantage is ratings volume (7.8K vs 35) and review sentiment (71% vs 50%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Lock Screen 26 sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Top Four sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Top Four holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lock Screen 26 has 7.8K ratings behind it against 35, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Lock Screen 26's written reviews are positive against 50% of Top Four's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Lock Screen 26 ships an update fortnightly, Top Four every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and August 13, 2026 respectively.
