Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: MTPROXY at 4.5 against DefaultVPN's 3.7. MTPROXY also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 4 weeks). DefaultVPN's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (43% vs 10%). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
MTPROXY holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 58 and 148 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 43% of DefaultVPN's written reviews are positive against 10% of MTPROXY's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
DefaultVPN ships an update every 4 weeks, MTPROXY weekly. Both last shipped on September 25, 2026.
