Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Jamjams at 4.6 against VPN's 1.0. Jamjams also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ratings volume (26 vs 1). VPN's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (14 vs 16.0). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
