Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Nail Vault at 100% against LacquerStash's 69%. Nail Vault also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks). LacquerStash's advantage is ratings volume (55 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. LacquerStash sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Nail Vault sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Nail Vault holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LacquerStash has 55 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 69% of LacquerStash's written reviews are positive against 100% of Nail Vault's.
LacquerStash ships an update every 2 weeks, Nail Vault every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
