Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Aloha VPN at Free against iBrowser's $0.89. Aloha VPN also leads on rating (4.3 vs 1.0) and ratings volume (351 vs 1). iBrowser's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 6 weeks). On review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
