# App Lock vs 隐藏应用

The clearest difference is review sentiment: App Lock at 80% against 隐藏应用's 0%. App Lock also leads on rating (4.2 vs 2.0) and ratings volume (54 vs 3). 隐藏应用's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 5 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. App Lock sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and 隐藏应用 sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

App Lock holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: App Lock has 54 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 80% of App Lock's written reviews are positive against 0% of 隐藏应用's.

App Lock ships an update every 5 weeks, 隐藏应用 weekly. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
