Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: kkVPN at 4.1 against Freedom's 3.2. kkVPN also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). Freedom's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 18) and ads (none vs shown). On price, ratings volume and device support there is nothing between them.
