# Methods vs Vampire

Methods and Vampire both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Methods's written reviews are positive against 42% of Vampire's. Methods also leads on price ($2.99 vs $4.99). Vampire's advantage is ratings volume (68 vs 9) and update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). On rating, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Methods costs $2.99 and Vampire $4.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Vampire holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Vampire has 68 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Methods's written reviews are positive against 42% of Vampire's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Methods ships an update fortnightly, Vampire weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
