# Text Vault vs Turning Hearts

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Turning Hearts at none against Text Vault's 10. Turning Hearts also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 77%). Text Vault's advantage is ratings volume (23K vs 7) and rating (4.4 vs 4.1). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Text Vault sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Turning Hearts asks for nothing beyond the download.

Text Vault holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Text Vault has 23K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of Text Vault's written reviews are positive against 100% of Turning Hearts's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
