# Red Shield VPN vs Wake

The clearest difference is monetization model: Wake at free with in-app purchases against Red Shield VPN's subscription. Wake also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 75%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Red Shield VPN's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (2.6K vs 1). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Red Shield VPN sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $11.99 per month and Wake sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $39.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Wake holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Red Shield VPN has 2.6K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 75% of Red Shield VPN's written reviews are positive against 100% of Wake's.
