# Super App Lock vs Slice

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Super App Lock at 2.3K against Slice's 28. Slice's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.7) and review sentiment (100% vs 88%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Super App Lock sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Slice sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Slice holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Super App Lock has 2.3K ratings behind it against 28, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 88% of Super App Lock's written reviews are positive against 100% of Slice's.
