# MicLabs vs OwnVPN

The clearest difference is rating: MicLabs at 4.0 against OwnVPN's 1.0. MicLabs also leads on ratings volume (8 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). OwnVPN's advantage is chart position (#74 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MicLabs sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and OwnVPN sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

MicLabs holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MicLabs has 8 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
