# Iron Blocker vs VPN Defendr+

The clearest difference is rating: VPN Defendr+ at 4.3 against Iron Blocker's 3.0. VPN Defendr+ also leads on ratings volume (216 vs 4). Iron Blocker's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 6 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Iron Blocker sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days and VPN Defendr+ sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
