# StopSocial vs Hydrolock

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Hydrolock at 100% against StopSocial's 54%. StopSocial's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 2.0) and ratings volume (168 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. StopSocial sells 17 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Hydrolock sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

StopSocial holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: StopSocial has 168 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 54% of StopSocial's written reviews are positive against 100% of Hydrolock's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
