# Smash Stickman vs Vault!

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.

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.
