# Documents vs Ostrich VPN

The clearest difference is update cadence: Documents at weekly against Ostrich VPN's every 6 weeks. Documents also leads on ratings volume (626K vs 23K) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). Ostrich VPN's advantage is review sentiment (89% vs 71%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Documents sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Ostrich VPN sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Documents holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Documents has 626K ratings behind it against 23K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Documents's written reviews are positive against 89% of Ostrich VPN's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Documents ships an update weekly, Ostrich VPN every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
