Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Launcher at 100% against Locknload's 50%. Launcher also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2). Locknload's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Locknload holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 74 and 19 respectively.

Locknload ships an update weekly, Launcher every 2 months. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
