# Uplock vs Canoe CatchApp

The clearest difference is rating: Uplock at 4.8 against Canoe CatchApp's 3.7. Uplock also leads on ratings volume (113 vs 3) and device support. Canoe CatchApp's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and review sentiment (100% vs 78%). On price and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Uplock sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Canoe CatchApp asks for nothing beyond the download.

Uplock holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Uplock has 113 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of Uplock's written reviews are positive against 100% of Canoe CatchApp's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
