# LacquerStash vs Nail Vault

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.

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.
