# MissionaryVault vs Tide

MissionaryVault and Tide both sit at 5.0 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of MissionaryVault's written reviews are positive against 47% of Tide's. Tide's advantage is ratings volume (216 vs 2). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MissionaryVault sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Tide sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per year. 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 MissionaryVault against 4.9 for Tide. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tide has 216 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 100% of MissionaryVault's written reviews are positive against 47% of Tide's.

MissionaryVault ships an update fortnightly, Tide weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
