# AALocker vs Vita

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Vita at 100% against AALocker's 70%. AALocker's advantage is ratings volume (259 vs 8) and rating (4.6 vs 4.4). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AALocker sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Vita sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

AALocker holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AALocker has 259 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of AALocker's written reviews are positive against 100% of Vita's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

AALocker ships an update fortnightly, Vita every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and June 11, 2026 respectively.
