At a glance
About the partner
The partner is an established software development company known for bundling more than 40 applications into a single auto-renewable subscription on iOS. Its business model centers on convenience, one subscription unlocking a wide range of utilities inside one ecosystem. The company set out to add a privacy and security product to that ecosystem without slowing down the experience its subscribers already relied on. It reflects a wider pattern in the subscription economy, where apps, carriers, and security suites increasingly bundle VPNs into broader privacy offerings rather than leaving privacy as a standalone purchase.
The challenge
Growing privacy concerns pushed the partner to add a VPN, but four requirements stood in the way of a simple app store listing.
A seamless user experience
Privacy had to work for non-technical users inside an already-bundled subscription, not as a separate technical product.
Unified subscription access
Customers needed the VPN through the same single auto-renewable subscription that unlocked every other app, across platforms.
A customized VPN template
The VPN needed the partner’s own branding and interface, not a bolted-on third-party app that broke visual consistency.
A freemium offering
A free tier with basic features to widen adoption, with a clear upgrade path to the paid bundle.
The solution
PureVPN White Label VPN Solution worked with the partner through five stages to meet all four requirements inside one integration.
User-centric design
Every build decision prioritized subscriber convenience and trust, so the VPN felt native to the bundle rather than an add-on.
A custom VPN app template for iOS
PureVPN supplied a VPN app template the partner could brand and restyle to match its ecosystem, keeping the experience consistent across all 40-plus apps.
Unified subscription architecture
The VPN plugged into the partner’s existing subscription system, so a single subscription unlocked it alongside every other app, with no second checkout.
VPN SDK integration
PureVPN’s SDK added the VPN layer through dedicated APIs, supporting IPSec, IKEv2, WireGuard, and OpenVPN, so the engineering team never built tunneling protocols from scratch.
Freemium implementation
A free tier with basic VPN features sat alongside the premium bundle, a low-friction way into the ecosystem before upgrading.
VPN features delivered inside the bundle
The branded VPN app carried four features subscribers could put to use right away.
Military-grade encryption
Protects user data and online activity from interception.
Regional content access
Unblocks region-restricted streaming channels.
Public WiFi security
Shields sensitive data on unsecured public networks.
On-demand access rules
Routes specific URLs and apps through the VPN only.
Why an embedded SDK beat the alternatives
The partner weighed three integration paths, and only one preserved the bundle’s single-subscription experience.
| Integration path | Brand continuity | Engineering effort | Time to launch |
|---|---|---|---|
| Embedded VPN app templateChosen | Full, matches the existing 40-app visual style | Low, PureVPN supplies the template and SDK | Weeks |
| Standalone third-party VPN app | None, users leave the bundle to open a separate app | Low, but breaks unified subscription access | Immediate, at the cost of a fragmented experience |
| In-house VPN infrastructure | Full | High, protocols, servers, and encryption built from scratch | Months to years |
Only the embedded path let the VPN inherit the bundle’s existing branding, billing, and subscription flow without listing a second app in the App Store.
Results
The unified subscription model, combined with the VPN feature set, delivered measurable gains across sales, conversion, and user trust.
2x subscription sales
The all-in-one bundle, now including VPN protection, drove a doubling of subscription sales.
Lower-cost conversion
The freemium tier widened the funnel, lifting conversion 40% while cutting acquisition cost 56%.
Trusted by users
A 4.7-star rating reinforced trust in privacy and security across the partner’s broader ecosystem.
These figures reflect the partner’s own reporting, not an independent audit.
Fold a VPN Into Your Bundle, Not Your Roadmap
Bundling dozens of apps into one subscription means every new feature has to work through your existing architecture, not around it. PureVPN White Label VPN Solution supplies a VPN app template and SDK that plug directly into that architecture, so you add a full privacy and security product without building servers, encryption protocols, or a separate billing flow.
