Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Universal at 4.5 against My eVault's 2.5. Universal also leads on update cadence (every 8 days vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (100% vs 74%). My eVault's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. My eVault sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Universal sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings
