Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: PureVPN at none against Lynkee's shown. PureVPN also leads on device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Lynkee's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
