Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: App Hide at 5.0 against 应用锁's 4.4. App Hide also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and review sentiment (67% vs 33%). 应用锁's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (82 vs 1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
