Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: chmod at 100% against VPN Info's 0%. chmod also leads on price (Free vs $3.99) and iOS requirement (8.2 vs 13.0). VPN Info's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
