# VPN Clean vs VPN Proxy

The clearest difference is monetization model: VPN Clean at free with in-app purchases against VPN Proxy's subscription. VPN Clean also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.1) and ratings volume (37K vs 679). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. VPN Clean sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and VPN Proxy sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

VPN Clean holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: VPN Clean has 37K ratings behind it against 679, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 70% of VPN Clean's written reviews are positive against 61% of VPN Proxy's.

VPN Clean ships an update every 3 weeks, VPN Proxy every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
