Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TION Smart at none against Red Shield VPN's 3. TION Smart also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 76%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Red Shield VPN's advantage is update cadence (every 11 days vs every 8 months) and ratings volume (2.6K vs 3). On price and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
