Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
NetBird P2P VPN holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NetBird P2P VPN has 48 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of NetBird P2P VPN's written reviews are positive against 67% of Netmaker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
NetBird P2P VPN ships an update every 3 weeks, Netmaker every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and June 7, 2026 respectively.
