# WidgetGrid vs VaultScan

The clearest difference is ads: WidgetGrid at none against VaultScan's shown. VaultScan's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 5 weeks) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.5). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. WidgetGrid sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and VaultScan sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

WidgetGrid ships an update every 5 weeks, VaultScan every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
