Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: SecStream VPN at Free against MonCal's $0.99. SecStream VPN also leads on rating (4.7 vs 3.7) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). MonCal's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 8) and ads (none vs shown). On device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

SecStream VPN holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SecStream VPN has 199 ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 69% of MonCal's written reviews are positive against 60% of SecStream VPN's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

MonCal ships an update every 2 months, SecStream VPN fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 15, 2026 respectively.
