The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Donec at 100% against IP Now's 0%. Donec also leads on price (Free vs $0.99). IP Now's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 months) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.2). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
