Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: V2Box at 4.7 against Fair VPN's 4.2. V2Box also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs monthly) and ratings volume (98K vs 1.4K). Fair VPN's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
V2Box holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: V2Box has 98K ratings behind it against 1.4K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of Fair VPN's written reviews are positive against 46% of V2Box's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Fair VPN ships an update monthly, V2Box every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
