# ArkVPN vs VPN Proxy Master

The clearest difference is rating: VPN Proxy Master at 4.6 against ArkVPN's 3.8. VPN Proxy Master also leads on ratings volume (3K vs 196). ArkVPN's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (79% vs 54%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ArkVPN sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and VPN Proxy Master sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

VPN Proxy Master holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: VPN Proxy Master has 3K ratings behind it against 196, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of ArkVPN's written reviews are positive against 54% of VPN Proxy Master's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

ArkVPN ships an update every 6 weeks, VPN Proxy Master every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on August 28, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
