Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Lockly Home at Free against GunBase's $39.99. Lockly Home also leads on ratings volume (1.7K vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 18.0). GunBase's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 weeks). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
