# Hi vs Vault Access

The clearest difference is monetization model: Vault Access at free with in-app purchases against Hi's subscription. Vault Access also leads on review sentiment (88% vs 80%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.6). Hi's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (324 vs 47). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hi sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $3.99 per month and Vault Access 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 — 4.6 for Hi against 4.7 for Vault Access. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hi has 324 ratings behind it against 47, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 80% of Hi's written reviews are positive against 88% of Vault Access's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 14, 2026 and June 1, 2026 respectively.
