# SSTP Connect vs V2Box Pro

The clearest difference is rating: SSTP Connect at 4.8 against V2Box Pro's 3.7. SSTP Connect also leads on review sentiment (81% vs 62%) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 71). V2Box Pro's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly) and chart position (#19 vs #77). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

SSTP Connect costs $2.99 and V2Box Pro $2.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

SSTP Connect holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SSTP Connect has 1.1K ratings behind it against 71, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 81% of SSTP Connect's written reviews are positive against 62% of V2Box Pro's.

SSTP Connect ships an update fortnightly, V2Box Pro every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
