# Locky vs PicAccess

The clearest difference is review sentiment: PicAccess at 100% against Locky's 55%. PicAccess also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and ads (none vs shown). Locky's advantage is ratings volume (505 vs 2) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 26.4). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Locky sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and PicAccess sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PicAccess holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Locky has 505 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 55% of Locky's written reviews are positive against 100% of PicAccess's.

Locky ships an update every 2 months, PicAccess every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
