# Echo VPN vs CueVPN

The clearest difference is rating: CueVPN at 5.0 against Echo VPN's 4.3. CueVPN also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 6 weeks). Echo VPN's advantage is ratings volume (9 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Echo VPN sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and CueVPN sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

CueVPN holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Echo VPN has 9 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Echo VPN ships an update every 6 weeks, CueVPN every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
