Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Guru VPN at 4.5 against Private Browser's 3.0. Guru VPN also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (2K vs 2). Private Browser's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Guru VPN sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days and Private Browser sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Guru VPN holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Guru VPN has 2K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Guru VPN ships an update every 10 days, Private Browser every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
