Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
BAS holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DefaultVPN has 58 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 42% of BAS's written reviews are positive against 43% of DefaultVPN's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
BAS ships an update every 6 weeks, DefaultVPN every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 3, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
