# Wake PC vs Privata VPN

The clearest difference is rating: Privata VPN at 4.7 against Wake PC's 3.7. Privata VPN also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 4) and ratings volume (106 vs 3). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Wake PC sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Privata VPN asks for nothing beyond the download.

Privata VPN holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Privata VPN has 106 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of Wake PC's written reviews are positive against 74% of Privata VPN's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
