Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Welding MMA at 94% against Bear VPN's 40%. Welding MMA also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Bear VPN's advantage is ratings volume (11K vs 10) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
