# Twilock vs LifeShelf

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Twilock at 26 against LifeShelf's 5. On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Twilock sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and LifeShelf sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Twilock against 5.0 for LifeShelf. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Twilock has 26 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.
