Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: EatWrite at 100% against Lock In's 47%. EatWrite also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Lock In's advantage is ratings volume (28K vs 8) and chart position (#190 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases 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. EatWrite sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Lock In sells 24 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
EatWrite holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lock In has 28K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of EatWrite's written reviews are positive against 47% of Lock In's.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
