# HISTORY Vault vs CB Line

The clearest difference is rating: HISTORY Vault at 3.9 against CB Line's 1.0. HISTORY Vault also leads on ratings volume (1.1K vs 2). CB Line's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 29%) and update cadence (weekly vs monthly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. HISTORY Vault sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and CB Line sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

HISTORY Vault holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HISTORY Vault has 1.1K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of HISTORY Vault's written reviews are positive against 50% of CB Line's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

HISTORY Vault ships an update monthly, CB Line weekly. Both last shipped on September 20, 2026.
