# TunnelBear vs CHiP Drip

The clearest difference is review sentiment: CHiP Drip at 100% against TunnelBear's 59%. CHiP Drip also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). TunnelBear's advantage is ratings volume (85K vs 1) and chart position (#117 vs unranked). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TunnelBear sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. CHiP Drip asks for nothing beyond the download.
