# Aloha Browser vs VPN Proxy

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Aloha Browser at 313K against VPN Proxy's 15. Aloha Browser also leads on chart position (#103 vs unranked). VPN Proxy's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Aloha Browser sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and VPN Proxy sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Aloha Browser against 4.6 for VPN Proxy. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Aloha Browser has 313K ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 49% of Aloha Browser's written reviews are positive against 43% of VPN Proxy's.

Aloha Browser ships an update fortnightly, VPN Proxy weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and August 12, 2026 respectively.
