Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Cheap VPN at 62% against AdKiller's 14%. Cheap VPN also leads on ratings volume (165 vs 11) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 14.0). AdKiller's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cheap VPN sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and AdKiller sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

AdKiller holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cheap VPN has 165 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 62% of Cheap VPN's written reviews are positive against 14% of AdKiller's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Cheap VPN ships an update fortnightly, AdKiller every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
