Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Poly at every 2 days against AnkiLock's every 3 weeks. Poly also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.6). AnkiLock's advantage is ratings volume (13 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. AnkiLock sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Poly sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for AnkiLock against 5.0 for Poly. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AnkiLock has 13 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
AnkiLock ships an update every 3 weeks, Poly every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 10, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
