Free client application for working with the VLESS protocol. Add configurations via link or by scanning a QR code. Sign in to your account to store your configurations in the cloud and access them from any device — like a cloud storage. The app encrypts traffic, automatically reconnects when the connection drops, and does not collect any data about your activity. Privata VPN does not provide servers, access keys, or configurations — it is a technical tool for connecting to your own infrastructure. Use of the application is at the user's discretion and in accordance with local legislation.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Privata VPN at none against CHOP's 3. Privata VPN also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (86% vs 61%). CHOP's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
