# CoreMax vs Lockout

The clearest difference is rating: Lockout at 5.0 against CoreMax's 4.2. CoreMax's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ratings volume (17 vs 3). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CoreMax sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Lockout sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Lockout holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CoreMax has 17 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.

CoreMax ships an update weekly, Lockout fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and September 27, 2026 respectively.
