# 快连VPN vs ShadowShare

The clearest difference is ads: 快连VPN at none against ShadowShare's shown. 快连VPN also leads on ratings volume (63K vs 367). ShadowShare's advantage is review sentiment (63% vs 38%). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 快连VPN sells 18 one-off in-app purchases and ShadowShare sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for 快连VPN against 4.7 for ShadowShare. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 快连VPN has 63K ratings behind it against 367, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 38% of 快连VPN's written reviews are positive against 63% of ShadowShare's.

快连VPN ships an update every 5 weeks, ShadowShare every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 13, 2026 respectively.
