# SetupVPN vs U

The clearest difference is rating: U at 5.0 against SetupVPN's 4.5. SetupVPN's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 7) and ratings volume (140 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. U sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. SetupVPN asks for nothing beyond the download.

U holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SetupVPN has 140 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

SetupVPN ships an update every 3 weeks, U fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
