# The Vault vs Snake Stack

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Snake Stack at none against The Vault's 12. Snake Stack also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 6 weeks). The Vault's advantage is ratings volume (3.4K vs 1). On price, rating, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. The Vault sells 12 one-off in-app purchases. Snake Stack asks for nothing beyond the download.

Snake Stack holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Vault has 3.4K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

The Vault ships an update every 6 weeks, Snake Stack every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
