Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Lock Screen 27 at free with in-app purchases against DepthWall's subscription. Lock Screen 27 also leads on ratings volume (7.8K vs 4). DepthWall's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
