# X vs Secure VPN Proxy

The clearest difference is monetization model: X at free with in-app purchases against Secure VPN Proxy's subscription. X also leads on ratings volume (616K vs 4.6K) and update cadence (every 6 days vs monthly). Secure VPN Proxy's advantage is review sentiment (85% vs 55%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. X sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and Secure VPN Proxy sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 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 X against 4.6 for Secure VPN Proxy. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: X has 616K ratings behind it against 4.6K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 55% of X's written reviews are positive against 85% of Secure VPN Proxy's.

X ships an update every 6 days, Secure VPN Proxy monthly. Both last shipped on September 25, 2026.
