# 华人VPN vs TheGreenWhale

The clearest difference is rating: TheGreenWhale at 5.0 against 华人VPN's 3.8. TheGreenWhale also leads on ads (none vs shown). 华人VPN's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and review sentiment (35% vs 0%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 华人VPN sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and TheGreenWhale sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

TheGreenWhale holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 华人VPN has 124 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 35% of 华人VPN's written reviews are positive against 0% of TheGreenWhale's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

华人VPN ships an update every 3 weeks, TheGreenWhale fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
