Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: VPN at 90% against Lockdown Privacy's 33%. VPN also leads on ratings volume (2.1M vs 9.8K) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). Lockdown Privacy's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
