# Vault! vs Space Frog Intern

The clearest difference is update cadence: Space Frog Intern at every 9 days against Vault!'s every 5 months. Space Frog Intern also leads on review sentiment (94% vs 71%) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 11.0). Vault!'s advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.3). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

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

Vault! holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 77 and 37 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Vault!'s written reviews are positive against 94% of Space Frog Intern's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Vault! ships an update every 5 months, Space Frog Intern every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
