# V2App vs Groot VPN

The clearest difference is monetization model: Groot VPN at free with in-app purchases against V2App's subscription. Groot VPN also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). V2App's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 6 weeks) and ratings volume (234 vs 5). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. V2App sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Groot VPN sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Groot VPN holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: V2App has 234 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 79% of V2App's written reviews are positive against 100% of Groot VPN's.

V2App ships an update weekly, Groot VPN every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on November 4, 2026.
