Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Lock In at 4.7 against EarpTool's 2.3. Lock In also leads on ratings volume (28K vs 16) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). EarpTool's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and iOS requirement (12.4 vs 16.4). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
