# VPN vs Ulink

The clearest difference is rating: VPN at 4.4 against Ulink's 1.0. VPN also leads on ratings volume (38 vs 1) and device support. Ulink's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 12) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.6). On price there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. VPN sells 12 one-off in-app purchases. Ulink asks for nothing beyond the download.

VPN holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: VPN has 38 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
