# Placard vs SingLinkVPN

The clearest difference is rating: SingLinkVPN at 4.0 against Placard's 1.0. SingLinkVPN also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 weeks) and ratings volume (4 vs 1). Placard's advantage is iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Placard sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and SingLinkVPN sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $4.19 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

SingLinkVPN holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 1.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1 and 4 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Placard's written reviews are positive against 59% of SingLinkVPN's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Placard ships an update every 3 weeks, SingLinkVPN every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
