# VPN vs WireVPN

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: WireVPN at none against VPN's 10. WireVPN also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). VPN's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (2.1M vs 110K). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. VPN sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. WireVPN asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for VPN against 4.6 for WireVPN. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: VPN has 2.1M ratings behind it against 110K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 90% of VPN's written reviews are positive against 78% of WireVPN's.

VPN ships an update weekly, WireVPN every 2 months. Both last shipped on November 9, 2026.
