# LockFit vs EarnScroll

The clearest difference is update cadence: LockFit at weekly against EarnScroll's monthly. LockFit also leads on ratings volume (556 vs 31) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. LockFit sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and EarnScroll sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

LockFit holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LockFit has 556 ratings behind it against 31, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 59% and 60% positive.

LockFit ships an update weekly, EarnScroll monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
