Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: VPN at 4.2 against SMS's 2.0. VPN also leads on review sentiment (54% vs 13%) and update cadence (weekly vs every 10 months). SMS's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. VPN sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. SMS asks for nothing beyond the download.
VPN holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: VPN has 7.4K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 13% of SMS's written reviews are positive against 54% of VPN's.
SMS ships an update every 10 months, VPN weekly. The most recent releases landed on August 16, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
