Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: VPN Gate Viewer at 56% against セカイVPN's 18%. VPN Gate Viewer also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 10 months). セカイVPN's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
