Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: The Da Vinci Cryptex at 4.3 against 100 Crypts's 3.0. 100 Crypts's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

The Da Vinci Cryptex holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 14 and 41 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of 100 Crypts's written reviews are positive against 62% of The Da Vinci Cryptex's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

100 Crypts ships an update fortnightly, The Da Vinci Cryptex monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 1, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
