KeyBean is a management software designed specifically for Apple, aimed at efficiently managing SSH keys, certificates, and CA (Certificate Authority) information. It provides a modern, user-friendly GUI that enables users to easily and conveniently edit and manage these critical security resources. The software comprehensively supports multiple key generation methods including ED25519, ECDSA, and RSA, allowing users to flexibly choose key lengths and offering quick key fingerprint viewing capabilities. Users can directly generate user or server certificates from CA and keys, conveniently reusing existing certificate information to create new certificates, thereby avoiding traditional complex command-line operations. ===================================== Subscription fee - 3.99/year Lifetime fee - $9.99 Unlock on all devices with a subscription or purchase.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ServerPanel at none against KeyBean's 2. ServerPanel also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 7 months). KeyBean's advantage is device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (16 vs 18.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
