Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Nindash at none against Vault!'s shown. Nindash also leads on review sentiment (95% vs 71%) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Vault! sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Nindash sells 9 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Nindash holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Nindash has 2K ratings behind it against 77, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Vault! ships an update every 5 months, Nindash every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
