Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
OpenVPN Connect holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 1.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: OpenVPN Connect has 40K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 45% of OpenVPN Connect's written reviews are positive against 50% of EMSFIT Pro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
OpenVPN Connect ships an update every 4 months, EMSFIT Pro every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
