Trackers follow you everywhere — in apps, browsers, and emails — building profiles that advertisers and data brokers sell and AI-powered attackers weaponize. IP Protection stops them.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Comet at 4.7 against IP Protection's 4.0. Comet also leads on ratings volume (7.8K vs 12) and review sentiment (65% vs 50%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Comet sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $20.00 per month and IP Protection sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Comet holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Comet has 7.8K ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 65% of Comet's written reviews are positive against 50% of IP Protection's.
Comet ships an update every 8 days, IP Protection every 10 days. Both last shipped on November 9, 2026.
