Both are free to download. Mr Flap sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Vault! sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Vault! holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 110 and 77 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 89% of Mr Flap's written reviews are positive against 71% of Vault!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Mr Flap ships an update every 2 months, Vault! every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
