# SPIN Safe Browser vs VPN

The clearest difference is rating: VPN at 4.8 against SPIN Safe Browser's 4.5. VPN also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks) and review sentiment (63% vs 53%). SPIN Safe Browser's advantage is ratings volume (2.1K vs 60). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SPIN Safe Browser sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and VPN sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

VPN holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SPIN Safe Browser has 2.1K ratings behind it against 60, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 53% of SPIN Safe Browser's written reviews are positive against 63% of VPN's.

SPIN Safe Browser ships an update every 6 weeks, VPN every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on September 25, 2026.
