# iProxy vs Shield VPN

The clearest difference is rating: Shield VPN at 4.6 against iProxy's 3.9. Shield VPN also leads on ratings volume (736 vs 68). iProxy's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, chart position and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Shield VPN sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. iProxy asks for nothing beyond the download.

Shield VPN holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Shield VPN has 736 ratings behind it against 68, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of iProxy's written reviews are positive against 40% of Shield VPN's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

iProxy ships an update weekly, Shield VPN every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
