# ScreenVault vs AskFirst

The clearest difference is monetization model: ScreenVault at free against AskFirst's paid. AskFirst's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 weeks) and ratings volume (13 vs 1). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ScreenVault sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and AskFirst sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for ScreenVault against 5.0 for AskFirst. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AskFirst has 13 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.

ScreenVault ships an update every 2 weeks, AskFirst every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
