# VPN Safely vs Security Master

The clearest difference is monetization model: Security Master at free with in-app purchases against VPN Safely's subscription. Security Master also leads on review sentiment (55% vs 27%) and rating (4.4 vs 4.2). VPN Safely's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 11 days). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. VPN Safely sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per 7 days and Security Master sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Security Master holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Security Master has 4K ratings behind it against 367, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 27% of VPN Safely's written reviews are positive against 55% of Security Master's.

VPN Safely ships an update daily, Security Master every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on October 6, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
