# Daybound vs Locky

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Daybound at 6 against Locky's 1. On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Daybound sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and Locky sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
