Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Selin AI at 100% against IVPN's 55%. Selin AI also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.1). IVPN's advantage is ratings volume (251 vs 3). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
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. IVPN sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and Selin AI sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $7.00 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Selin AI holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: IVPN has 251 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 55% of IVPN's written reviews are positive against 100% of Selin AI's.
IVPN ships an update every 2 months, Selin AI monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 10, 2026 respectively.
