# i2VPN vs Phonekit

The clearest difference is monetization model: Phonekit at free with in-app purchases against i2VPN's subscription. Phonekit also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). i2VPN's advantage is ratings volume (3.7K vs 6). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. i2VPN sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Phonekit sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Phonekit holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: i2VPN has 3.7K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two.

i2VPN ships an update every 2 weeks, Phonekit every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
