Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: ID Lock at 73% against EncryptMe's 17%. ID Lock also leads on rating (4.8 vs 2.7) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 10 months). EncryptMe's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
