Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: NextVPN at 4.7 against SSH VPN's 3.8. NextVPN also leads on ratings volume (45K vs 25) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks). SSH VPN's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (77% vs 67%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. NextVPN sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.49 per 7 days and SSH VPN sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
NextVPN holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NextVPN has 45K ratings behind it against 25, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of NextVPN's written reviews are positive against 77% of SSH VPN's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
NextVPN ships an update every 5 days, SSH VPN every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 25, 2026.
