Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: AppLock at 3.6 against iProtect Free's 2.5. AppLock also leads on review sentiment (33% vs 13%) and ratings volume (396 vs 23). iProtect Free's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
