Verdict
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.
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 Devolver Tumble Time sells 17 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
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.
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.
