# PackDot vs Aloha VPN

The clearest difference is review sentiment: PackDot at 100% against Aloha VPN's 55%. PackDot also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 16.0). Aloha VPN's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (348 vs 2). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Aloha VPN sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. PackDot asks for nothing beyond the download.

Aloha VPN holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Aloha VPN has 348 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of PackDot's written reviews are positive against 55% of Aloha VPN's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

PackDot ships an update every 3 months, Aloha VPN fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on July 7, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
