# My Data Manager VPN Security vs FlowVPN

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: My Data Manager VPN Security at none against FlowVPN's 9. My Data Manager VPN Security also leads on review sentiment (63% vs 51%). FlowVPN's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.2) and iOS requirement (12.1 vs 14.1). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. FlowVPN sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. My Data Manager VPN Security asks for nothing beyond the download.

FlowVPN holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 3.3K and 3.8K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of My Data Manager VPN Security's written reviews are positive against 51% of FlowVPN's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
