# VPN Rapid vs PremierVPN

The clearest difference is rating: PremierVPN at 5.0 against VPN Rapid's 3.7. PremierVPN also leads on ads (none vs shown). VPN Rapid's advantage is ratings volume (51 vs 1) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. VPN Rapid sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and PremierVPN sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PremierVPN holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: VPN Rapid has 51 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of VPN Rapid's written reviews are positive against 78% of PremierVPN's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

VPN Rapid ships an update every 2 weeks, PremierVPN every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
