# FOX Smart vs VPN

The clearest difference is rating: VPN at 4.5 against FOX Smart's 2.3. VPN also leads on review sentiment (36% vs 0%) and ratings volume (425 vs 3). FOX Smart's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. VPN sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. FOX Smart asks for nothing beyond the download.

VPN holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: VPN has 425 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 0% of FOX Smart's written reviews are positive against 36% of VPN's.

FOX Smart ships an update every 2 months, VPN fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
