Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Encrypt.me at 4.5 against Launch VPN's 3.9. Encrypt.me also leads on ratings volume (5.7K vs 15) and device support (3 vs 1). Launch VPN's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (80% vs 52%). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Encrypt.me sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Launch VPN sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Encrypt.me holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Encrypt.me has 5.7K ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 52% of Encrypt.me's written reviews are positive against 80% of Launch VPN's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Encrypt.me ships an update every 2 months, Launch VPN fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
