Verdict

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. myArmsCache sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and GunVault sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for myArmsCache against 4.8 for GunVault. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: myArmsCache has 2.2K ratings behind it against 26, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 80% of myArmsCache's written reviews are positive against 55% of GunVault's.
myArmsCache ships an update monthly, GunVault every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on September 19, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
