Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Segment VPN at Free against SSTP Connect's $2.99. Segment VPN also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 81%). SSTP Connect's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.1) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 7). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

SSTP Connect holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SSTP Connect has 1.1K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of SSTP Connect's written reviews are positive against 100% of Segment VPN's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
