# VPN vs i2VPN

The clearest difference is monetization model: VPN at free with in-app purchases against i2VPN's subscription. VPN also leads on ratings volume (2.1M vs 3.6K) and chart position (#12 vs unranked). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. VPN sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days and i2VPN sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for VPN against 4.6 for i2VPN. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: VPN has 2.1M ratings behind it against 3.6K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 91% of VPN's written reviews are positive against 93% of i2VPN's.

VPN ships an update every 6 days, i2VPN every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
