Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ratings volume: App Lock at 265 against 迷雾's 3. App Lock also leads on update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). 迷雾's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
