Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: TouchKVM at 100% against NetBird P2P VPN's 46%. TouchKVM also leads on rating (4.4 vs 3.9) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks). NetBird P2P VPN's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
