# Termius vs V2Lite VPN

The clearest difference is ads: Termius at none against V2Lite VPN's shown. Termius also leads on review sentiment (81% vs 57%) and chart position (#3 vs #58). V2Lite VPN's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Termius sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $15.00 per month and V2Lite VPN sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Termius against 4.6 for V2Lite VPN. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Termius has 20K ratings behind it against 3.9K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 81% of Termius's written reviews are positive against 57% of V2Lite VPN's.
