P.S. Vault is a zero-knowledge secure vault with a built-in Emergency Switch. Store your most important information, encrypted and private β and know it will reach the right people if you're ever unable to hand it over yourself. HOW IT WORKS Configure a check-in schedule that works for you β daily, weekly, or monthly. P.S. Vault sends friendly reminders when it's time to check in. If you stop responding, it escalates β and if you still don't respond, your vaults are securely delivered to the people you've named as beneficiaries. WHAT YOU CAN STORE β’ Logins & passwords β’ Secure notes β’ Financial accounts & credit cards β’ Identity documents β’ Crypto wallets & seed phrases β’ Files & attachments β’ Contact information β’ Custom fields ZERO-KNOWLEDGE ENCRYPTION Your data is encrypted on your device before it ever reaches the server. Not even the server administrator can read your vault contents. All encryption uses XChaCha20-Poly1305 with Argon2id key derivation. EMERGENCY SWITCH Set your own check-in schedule and receive friendly reminders. If you miss too many, P.S. Vault alerts your trusted contacts and delivers your vaults to your named beneficiaries β with identity verification to ensure only the right people gain access. Pause the switch anytime when you travel or take a break. BENEFICIARY PROTECTION Assign different people to different vaults. Require identity verification (shared secret + SMS code) before anyone can view your data. Add trusted contacts who are notified but never receive vault contents. SELF-HOSTED & PRIVATE P.S. Vault connects to your own self-hosted server. Your data never passes through third-party infrastructure. Deploy with Docker in minutes on any server or home lab. MORE FEATURES β’ Face ID / Touch ID check-in via push notification β’ Offline read-only access to your vaults β’ Version history for every entry β’ Beneficiary preview mode β see exactly what they'll see β’ Import from 1Password, Bitwarden, LastPass, and KeePass β’ Secure clipboard with auto-clear P.S. Vault is a personal tool for sharing information with loved ones. It is not a substitute for a legal will or estate plan.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: P.S. Vault at none against CrossPaste's 4. P.S. Vault also leads on ads (none vs shown). CrossPaste's advantage is iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.6). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
