MaxVault vs Hide it Pro
Short answer
Hide it Pro hides photos and videos behind a lock screen, with a disguise screen, an escape code that makes the app look empty, and optional cloud storage. MaxVault adds break-in photos with location, Panic Action, separate vaults and folder passwords, and holds any file with a media player, editor and private browser built in.
