# Hideon VPN vs BetterVPN Client

The clearest difference is rating: BetterVPN Client at 5.0 against Hideon VPN's 4.3. Hideon VPN's advantage is ratings volume (10 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hideon VPN sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days and BetterVPN Client sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

BetterVPN Client holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hideon VPN has 10 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
