Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Locksub at 77% against uShip's 34%. Locksub also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). uShip's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (4.6K vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

uShip holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: uShip has 4.6K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 34% of uShip's written reviews are positive against 77% of Locksub's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

uShip ships an update monthly, Locksub fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 13, 2026 respectively.
