Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: MyLifeDates at free with in-app purchases against ID Lock's subscription. MyLifeDates also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks) and review sentiment (100% vs 73%). ID Lock's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
