Vector is an exciting, arcade-style game featuring you as the exceptional free runner who won’t be held down by the system.

I can’t wait to be entrapped in Vector’s promising mix of direction and magnitude.” (appadvice.com) “Vector is thrilling, rich in variety and it reminds us of Stick Run, but offers much more elaborate animations.” (fbgamer.de) "The only cool way to run from all your problems."

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Earn to Die 2 at none against Vector Classic's shown. Earn to Die 2 also leads on review sentiment (64% vs 55%) and chart position (#1 vs #6). Vector Classic's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.7). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Vector Classic costs $0.99 and Earn to Die 2 $0.29 up front. Vector Classic sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Earn to Die 2 sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Vector Classic holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 3K and 5.6K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of Vector Classic's written reviews are positive against 64% of Earn to Die 2's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
