# Password Manager iPassSafe vs The Vault

The clearest difference is rating: Password Manager iPassSafe at 4.3 against The Vault's 3.7. Password Manager iPassSafe also leads on ratings volume (805 vs 162) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.2). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Password Manager iPassSafe sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per year and The Vault sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Password Manager iPassSafe holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 805 and 162 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Password Manager iPassSafe's written reviews are positive against 65% of The Vault's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Password Manager iPassSafe ships an update fortnightly, The Vault every 9 days. Both last shipped on October 29, 2026.
