Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: AlphaPay at 100% against VPN's 54%. AlphaPay also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.2) and in-app purchases (none vs 3). VPN's advantage is ratings volume (7.4K vs 1) and update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. VPN sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. AlphaPay asks for nothing beyond the download.
AlphaPay holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: VPN has 7.4K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of AlphaPay's written reviews are positive against 54% of VPN's.
AlphaPay ships an update fortnightly, VPN weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 19, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
