Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Hive at 5.0 against MegaV VPN's 4.3. Hive also leads on ads (none vs shown). MegaV VPN's advantage is ratings volume (66 vs 5) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hive sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days and MegaV VPN sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $10.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Hive holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MegaV VPN has 66 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Hive ships an update every 3 weeks, MegaV VPN every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
