# Circle Run vs Vault!

The clearest difference is rating: Circle Run at 5.0 against Vault!'s 4.5. Circle Run also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 71%). Vault!'s advantage is update cadence (every 5 months vs every 137 months) and ratings volume (77 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Circle Run 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.

Circle Run 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 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of Circle Run's written reviews are positive against 71% of Vault!'s.

Circle Run ships an update every 137 months, Vault! every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
