# ID Lock vs LOCKLY®

The clearest difference is monetization model: LOCKLY® at free with in-app purchases against ID Lock's subscription. LOCKLY® also leads on ratings volume (8K vs 787) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 17.6). ID Lock's advantage is review sentiment (73% vs 48%) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ID Lock sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and LOCKLY® sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $2.00 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ID Lock holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LOCKLY® has 8K ratings behind it against 787, so its average is the more settled of the two.
