# Search All vs VPN

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: VPN at none against Search All's 1. VPN also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Search All sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. VPN asks for nothing beyond the download.

Search All ships an update monthly, VPN every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
