# VPN vs Open Chat

The clearest difference is ads: VPN at none against Open Chat's shown. Open Chat's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 weeks) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 18.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. VPN sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Open Chat sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

VPN ships an update every 2 weeks, Open Chat every 6 days. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
