Making lists sucks. Building a loadout is awesome. Gear Locker keeps every piece of gear you own in one place, then packs it into loadouts you can print and go. Cameras, drones, laptops, radios, camping gear: if you spent money on it, it belongs in your locker. YOUR LOCKER Every item gets its own dataplate: make, model, counts, accessories, and any detail you care about. You decide how deep your records go. A name is enough; the details can come later. BUILD LOADOUTS LIKE A GAME Equip gear for a trip the way you kit a character. Range day, three night hike, family camp: tap plates to equip them, hit COMMIT, and the loadout is saved forever. Reuse it next trip or build a new one. PRINT THE MANIFEST Every loadout prints a pack sheet with OUT and IN checkboxes and a signature line. Pack against it, hand it to whoever checks the truck, or file it for your records. CHECK GEAR OUT AND IN Red means out in the field. Green means home in the locker. Check out a whole loadout at once and see at a glance what came home. YOUR SERIALS STAY YOURS Fields you mark sensitive, like serial numbers, are encrypted on your device before they sync. We cannot read them. Ever. ADD GEAR BY VOICE (PRO) Describe the gear in plain words and the fields fill themselves. You review everything before it saves. CHOOSE YOUR LOOK Three themes: Safe, Neutral, and Techy. Your locker should feel like your world. FREE TO USE, FOREVER The free tier covers 3 categories and 6 items with every feature included, and it never expires. Gear Locker Pro unlocks unlimited categories, unlimited gear, and voice entry: $5.99 a month, $39.99 a year, or $99.99 once for lifetime access. Nothing is ever deleted if you step back down. Built for people who take their gear seriously.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: WiFi Sonar at none against Gear Locker's 1. WiFi Sonar also leads on device support (3 vs 1). Gear Locker's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
