Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Text Vault at 77% against Text ON's 39%. Text Vault also leads on ratings volume (23K vs 2.4K). Text ON's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.4). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Text Vault sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Text ON sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Text ON holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Text Vault has 23K ratings behind it against 2.4K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of Text Vault's written reviews are positive against 39% of Text ON's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Text Vault ships an update every 3 weeks, Text ON monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
