AS EASY AS 1-2-3 Download, login, and connect – that’s it! With MATE VPN, one tap is enough to encrypt your whole traffic. You can also set the app to connect automatically and enjoy full peace of mind. STAY SAFE ON PUBLIC WI-FI Found a cozy café with a Wi-Fi hotspot, but it’s unsecured? Don’t give up just yet! Use MATE VPN and hide your online activities from snoopers and hackers. THOUSANDS OF SERVERS Lightning-fast VPN protocols sure help, but our vast server network is there to do the heavy lifting. With 5500+ servers in 60 countries, the perfect one is always just a tap away. Click “Quick Connect,” and you’re all set! (Note: Global proxy feature requires premium access.) ENCRYPT EVERYTHING How would you like to protect your whole home with one app? Install MATE VPN on your Wi-Fi router and enjoy a private internet connection on every connected device in your home.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Smartnet at none against MATE VPN's 10. Smartnet also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). MATE VPN's advantage is ratings volume (8.7K vs 3). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MATE VPN sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Smartnet asks for nothing beyond the download.
Smartnet holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MATE VPN has 8.7K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.
