# Vault Access vs StreamBean

The clearest difference is update cadence: StreamBean at every 6 days against Vault Access's every 3 months. StreamBean also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and review sentiment (100% vs 88%). Vault Access's advantage is ratings volume (47 vs 7) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Vault Access sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and StreamBean sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.00 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

StreamBean holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Vault Access has 47 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 88% of Vault Access's written reviews are positive against 100% of StreamBean's.

Vault Access ships an update every 3 months, StreamBean every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
