Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: PandaVPN at 4.3 against AP network's 2.7. PandaVPN also leads on ratings volume (16K vs 91) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). AP network's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 9) and review sentiment (48% vs 21%). On price and ads 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. PandaVPN sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days. AP network asks for nothing beyond the download.
PandaVPN holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PandaVPN has 16K ratings behind it against 91, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 21% of PandaVPN's written reviews are positive against 48% of AP network's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
PandaVPN ships an update every 3 weeks, AP network every 2 months. Both last shipped on November 11, 2026.
