# VPN vs Secure VPN Proxy

VPN also leads on ratings volume (2.1M vs 4.6K) and update cadence (every 6 days vs monthly). Secure VPN Proxy's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0).

Both are free to download. VPN sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days 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.
