Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Vip Proxy Server at none against Pastel's 3. Vip Proxy Server also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 76%) and chart position (#155 vs unranked). Pastel's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Pastel holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pastel has 1.4K ratings behind it against 117, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of Pastel's written reviews are positive against 100% of Vip Proxy Server's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
