# VPN vs Vertex

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Vertex at none against VPN's 12. Vertex also leads on ads (none vs shown). VPN's advantage is device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). On price there is nothing between them.

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