# Vault! vs Fruit Invaders

The clearest difference is ads: Fruit Invaders at none against Vault!'s shown. Fruit Invaders also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 71%) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 11.0). Vault!'s advantage is ratings volume (77 vs 7). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Vault! sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Fruit Invaders sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Fruit Invaders holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Vault! has 77 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 71% of Vault!'s written reviews are positive against 100% of Fruit Invaders's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
