Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: VPN Prime at 4.5 against NetGuard's 2.8. VPN Prime also leads on review sentiment (77% vs 44%) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months). NetGuard's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and iOS requirement (12.1 vs 16.4). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
