Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Smash Stickman at none against Vault!'s shown. Smash Stickman also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and iOS requirement (4.0 vs 11.0). Vault!'s advantage is review sentiment (71% vs 40%) and ratings volume (77 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Smash Stickman sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Vault! sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Smash Stickman holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Vault! has 77 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of Smash Stickman'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.
