Kagineko VPN turns your VPN on and off with a single button. ● The room tells you the state When the VPN is off, the room is dark and Kagineko is asleep. Turn it on and the lamp lights up—Kagineko wakes up and keeps watch. Connecting and errors are shown by the cat's posture, at a glance. ● No sign-up, no fees No account, no email. The app keeps no record of your activity. ● Just pick a country Choose Japan, Korea, the US and more by flag. Busy servers are skipped automatically and the app connects to the most responsive one first. ● About ads To stay free, a banner is shown at the bottom and a short video ad plays before the second and later connections in a session. A one-time purchase removes all ads.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: iTINC at none against Kagineko VPN's 2. iTINC also leads on ads (none vs shown). Kagineko VPN's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
