Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Fast Notes at Free against SecureVault's $0.99. Fast Notes also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (16 vs 1). SecureVault's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 67%). On update cadence, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Fast Notes holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fast Notes has 16 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Fast Notes's written reviews are positive against 100% of SecureVault's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Fast Notes ships an update every 6 months, SecureVault every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
