Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Hiddify Proxy & VPN at none against V2Box's shown. Hiddify Proxy & VPN also leads on review sentiment (71% vs 46%) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). V2Box's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 16 months) and ratings volume (98K vs 810). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

V2Box holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: V2Box has 98K ratings behind it against 810, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of V2Box's written reviews are positive against 71% of Hiddify Proxy & VPN's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

V2Box ships an update every 4 days, Hiddify Proxy & VPN every 16 months. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
