Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
VPN holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 3.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 12 and 16 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of Tomato Flow's written reviews are positive against 45% of VPN's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Tomato Flow ships an update every 2 weeks, VPN fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
