# Hit Em Up vs Text Vault

The clearest difference is ads: Hit Em Up at none against Text Vault's shown. Hit Em Up also leads on chart position (#153 vs unranked). Text Vault's advantage is ratings volume (23K vs 4.9K) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hit Em Up sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month and Text Vault sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Hit Em Up holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 4.9K and 23K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Hit Em Up's written reviews are positive against 77% of Text Vault's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Hit Em Up ships an update fortnightly, Text Vault every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on November 11, 2026.
