# V vs VPN

The clearest difference is review sentiment: V at 75% against VPN's 37%. V also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). VPN's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (7.3K vs 1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. VPN sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. V asks for nothing beyond the download.

V holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: VPN has 7.3K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 75% of V's written reviews are positive against 37% of VPN's.

V ships an update every 2 months, VPN weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 8, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
