Verdict

The call

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.
