# Vault! vs Breakout Ninja

The clearest difference is ads: Breakout Ninja at none against Vault!'s shown. Breakout Ninja also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (1.3K vs 77). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Vault! sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Breakout Ninja sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Vault! against 4.6 for Breakout Ninja. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Breakout Ninja has 1.3K ratings behind it against 77, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 71% of Vault!'s written reviews are positive against 83% of Breakout Ninja's.

Vault! ships an update every 5 months, Breakout Ninja every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 20, 2026.
