Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Shadowrocket at none against iSafe Pro's 1. Shadowrocket also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.5 vs 4.1). iSafe Pro's advantage is price ($0.99 vs $2.99) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). On review sentiment there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Shadowrocket holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Shadowrocket has 12K ratings behind it against 711, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 62% of iSafe Pro's written reviews are positive against 57% of Shadowrocket's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

iSafe Pro ships an update fortnightly, Shadowrocket weekly. Both last shipped on October 12, 2026.
