# VPN vs Chat Plus

The clearest difference is ratings volume: VPN at 31K against Chat Plus's 17. VPN also leads on chart position (#151 vs unranked). Chat Plus's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 80%) and rating (4.9 vs 4.7). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. VPN sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Chat Plus sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Chat Plus holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: VPN has 31K ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 80% of VPN's written reviews are positive against 100% of Chat Plus's.

VPN ships an update weekly, Chat Plus every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
