# Password Manager' vs AppLocker

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Password Manager' at 17K against AppLocker's 391. Password Manager' also leads on review sentiment (48% vs 37%). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Password Manager' sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and AppLocker sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.4 for Password Manager' against 4.3 for AppLocker. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Password Manager' has 17K ratings behind it against 391, so its average is the more settled of the two.
