# DocuShield vs SecStream VPN

The clearest difference is ads: DocuShield at none against SecStream VPN's shown. DocuShield also leads on review sentiment (83% vs 60%). SecStream VPN's advantage is ratings volume (199 vs 37). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. DocuShield sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $12.99 per 7 days and SecStream VPN sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for DocuShield against 4.7 for SecStream VPN. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SecStream VPN has 199 ratings behind it against 37, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 83% of DocuShield's written reviews are positive against 60% of SecStream VPN's.

DocuShield ships an update every 2 weeks, SecStream VPN fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on August 31, 2026 and September 15, 2026 respectively.
