Verdict

The call

Prayr and 5Locks both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of 5Locks's written reviews are positive against 56% of Prayr's. 5Locks also leads on monetization model (freemium vs subscription). Prayr's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (1.5K vs 56). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Prayr sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and 5Locks sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Prayr holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Prayr has 1.5K ratings behind it against 56, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of Prayr's written reviews are positive against 100% of 5Locks's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Prayr ships an update every 10 days, 5Locks every 9 days. Both last shipped on November 5, 2026.
