Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: VPNET at 4.5 against VPN.AC's 3.2. VPNET also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). VPN.AC's advantage is review sentiment (37% vs 19%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
