Verdict

The call

App Lock and App Lock both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 76% of App Lock's written reviews are positive against 33% of App Lock's. App Lock also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ratings volume (1.2K vs 348). App Lock's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
