Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: GateVPN at 4.3 against AdBlock's 3.2. GateVPN also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (280 vs 33). AdBlock's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 11 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. GateVPN sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days and AdBlock sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
GateVPN holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GateVPN has 280 ratings behind it against 33, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of GateVPN's written reviews are positive against 43% of AdBlock's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
GateVPN ships an update every 11 months, AdBlock every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
