Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Fair VPN holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fair VPN has 1.4K ratings behind it against 25, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of SG7+8's written reviews are positive against 55% of Fair VPN's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
