Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: VIPER X at 5.0 against VanyaVPN's 4.3. VIPER X also leads on review sentiment (50% vs 34%) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.5). VanyaVPN's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 13 months) and ratings volume (3.9K vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
