# Unscreen vs Super App Lock

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Super App Lock at 88% against Unscreen's 55%. Super App Lock also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (2.3K vs 80). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Unscreen sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and Super App Lock sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Super App Lock has 2.3K ratings behind it against 80, so its average is the more settled of the two.
