# PushLock vs TollGate

The clearest difference is review sentiment: TollGate at 100% against PushLock's 33%. TollGate also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (15.5 vs 18.6). PushLock's advantage is ratings volume (325 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PushLock sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and TollGate sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

TollGate holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PushLock has 325 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 33% of PushLock's written reviews are positive against 100% of TollGate's.
