ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Best Secret Folder holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Best Secret Folder has 13K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of Best Secret Folder's written reviews are positive against 93% of Vault's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Best Secret Folder ships an update every 6 weeks, Vault every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
