# 应用锁 vs Magic Locker

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Magic Locker at 100% against 应用锁's 33%. Magic Locker also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.4) and monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). 应用锁's advantage is ratings volume (88 vs 9) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 应用锁 sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Magic Locker sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Magic Locker holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 应用锁 has 88 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 33% of 应用锁's written reviews are positive against 100% of Magic Locker's.
