Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Vault! at 4.5 against Magic Bridge!'s 4.2. Vault! also leads on update cadence (every 5 months vs every 11 months). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Vault! sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Magic Bridge! sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Vault! holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 77 and 107 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Vault!'s written reviews are positive against 73% of Magic Bridge!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Vault! ships an update every 5 months, Magic Bridge! every 11 months. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
