Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Halo Light at none against Locky's 6. Halo Light also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (78% vs 55%). Locky's advantage is ratings volume (497 vs 6) and rating (4.5 vs 4.2). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Locky sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Halo Light asks for nothing beyond the download.
Locky holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Locky has 497 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of Locky's written reviews are positive against 78% of Halo Light's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
