# Vampify vs TabStory

The clearest difference is price: TabStory at Free against Vampify's $0.99. TabStory also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). Vampify's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (158 vs 1). On in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

TabStory is free to download; Vampify costs $0.99 up front. Vampify sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and TabStory sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

TabStory holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Vampify has 158 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Vampify ships an update every 2 months, TabStory monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
