Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Devolver Tumble Time at fortnightly against Vault!'s every 5 months. Devolver Tumble Time also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (920 vs 77). Vault!'s advantage is review sentiment (71% vs 56%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Devolver Tumble Time holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Devolver Tumble Time has 920 ratings behind it against 77, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Vault!'s written reviews are positive against 56% of Devolver Tumble Time'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, Devolver Tumble Time fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
