Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Screen Time Tracker at none against Lockin's 4. Screen Time Tracker also leads on ads (none vs shown). Lockin's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 5 months) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
