# HISTORY Vault vs VET Tv

The clearest difference is review sentiment: VET Tv at 95% against HISTORY Vault's 29%. VET Tv also leads on rating (4.9 vs 3.9) and ratings volume (9.5K vs 1.1K). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. HISTORY Vault sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and VET Tv sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

VET Tv holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: VET Tv has 9.5K ratings behind it against 1.1K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 29% of HISTORY Vault's written reviews are positive against 95% of VET Tv's.

HISTORY Vault ships an update monthly, VET Tv every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
