Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Vault at 100% against Forum, a Facebook app's 53%. Vault also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Forum, a Facebook app's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (10K vs 4). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Forum, a Facebook app holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Forum, a Facebook app has 10K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 53% of Forum, a Facebook app's written reviews are positive against 100% of Vault's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Forum, a Facebook app ships an update weekly, Vault every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
