# 3AK Sprinting vs VaultBuddy

The clearest difference is monetization model: VaultBuddy at freemium against 3AK Sprinting's subscription. VaultBuddy also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 69%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). 3AK Sprinting's advantage is ratings volume (2.4K vs 9) and chart position (#135 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 3AK Sprinting sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days and VaultBuddy sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

VaultBuddy holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 3AK Sprinting has 2.4K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 69% of 3AK Sprinting's written reviews are positive against 100% of VaultBuddy's.
