Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: VSim at 4.7 against WIRE TUN's 3.9. VSim also leads on review sentiment (84% vs 50%) and ratings volume (16K vs 493). WIRE TUN's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and update cadence (daily vs every 2 months). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
