# VPN vs PurePrivacy

The clearest difference is rating: VPN at 4.3 against PurePrivacy's 3.8. VPN also leads on device support (3 vs 1). PurePrivacy's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. VPN sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and PurePrivacy sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

VPN holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 35 and 22 respectively. Written reviews point the same way: 50% of VPN's written reviews are positive against 43% of PurePrivacy's.

VPN ships an update every 2 months, PurePrivacy every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
