# LiveSafe vs Honorlock

The clearest difference is rating: LiveSafe at 2.8 against Honorlock's 1.5. LiveSafe also leads on review sentiment (23% vs 2%) and ratings volume (334 vs 52). Honorlock's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 6 weeks) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
