Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: VanyaVPN at 4.3 against HitProxy's 2.9. VanyaVPN also leads on ratings volume (3.9K vs 426). HitProxy's advantage is review sentiment (45% vs 34%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
VanyaVPN holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: VanyaVPN has 3.9K ratings behind it against 426, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 34% of VanyaVPN's written reviews are positive against 45% of HitProxy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
VanyaVPN ships an update every 2 months, HitProxy every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
