Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Cilex at 5.0 against Paper VPN's 4.4. Cilex also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 8). Paper VPN's advantage is ratings volume (400 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Paper VPN sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Cilex asks for nothing beyond the download.
Cilex holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Paper VPN has 400 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 45% of Paper VPN's written reviews are positive against 40% of Cilex's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Paper VPN ships an update every 5 weeks, Cilex every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
