Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: OwnVPN at 2.7 against SecTrav's 1.0. OwnVPN also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 months) and chart position (#76 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. SecTrav sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per month 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.
OwnVPN holds the better App Store score, 2.7 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: OwnVPN has 14 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
SecTrav ships an update every 3 months, OwnVPN every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
