# VPN vs VPN Security

VPN and VPN Security both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 91% of VPN's written reviews are positive against 53% of VPN Security's. VPN also leads on ratings volume (2.1M vs 1K) and update cadence (every 6 days vs fortnightly). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. VPN sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days and VPN Security sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

VPN holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: VPN has 2.1M ratings behind it against 1K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 91% of VPN's written reviews are positive against 53% of VPN Security's.

VPN ships an update every 6 days, VPN Security fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
