# VPN vs Secure VPN Proxy

The clearest difference is monetization model: VPN at free with in-app purchases against Secure VPN Proxy's subscription. VPN also leads on ratings volume (437K vs 4.6K) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). Secure VPN Proxy's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. VPN sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Secure VPN Proxy sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for VPN against 4.6 for Secure VPN Proxy. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: VPN has 437K ratings behind it against 4.6K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 84% and 85% positive.

VPN ships an update fortnightly, Secure VPN Proxy monthly. Both last shipped on September 25, 2026.
