Aura

Every app on your iPhone quietly talks to advertising and analytics servers. Aura ends those conversations at the DNS layer β before a single byte ever leaves your phone. No tunnel. No account. No browsing history, because there is none to keep. HOW IT WORKS Aura saves an encrypted DNS profile to your iPhone. From then on, every domain your apps look up is resolved over an encrypted connection β and the ones belonging to trackers, ad networks, telemetry endpoints and known malicious hosts are simply never answered. The request is not slowed down or rerouted. It never happens. WHAT YOU GET β’ System-wide blocking β every app and every browser, not only Safari β’ Encrypted DNS over HTTPS, so cafΓ©s, hotels and mobile carriers can no longer read which sites you open β’ A live activity log β the exact domain each app asked for, and whether Aura stopped it β’ Honest numbers β threats blocked today, and the megabytes you never had to download β’ One tap to pause β switch the shield off on this iPhone without touching your other devices β’ No speed cost and no battery cost, because there is no tunnel to keep alive SET UP IN UNDER A MINUTE 1. Tap Set Up Protection. Aura writes its DNS profile to your iPhone. 2. Follow six illustrated steps to pick Aura in iOS Settings. 3. Come back. The shield runs a live test lookup and turns itself on. PRIVACY THAT IS STRUCTURAL, NOT PROMISED There is no account to create, no email to hand over, nothing to sign in to. Your lookups are answered and discarded. The activity log is built on your iPhone and never leaves it. We cannot sell, leak or be compelled to hand over records we never kept. WHAT AURA IS NOT Aura is not a VPN. It does not tunnel or reroute your traffic β it changes which resolver answers your lookups, which is exactly why it costs you nothing in speed or battery. It cannot remove ads that a service delivers from its own domain, and it does not hide your IP address. AURA PRO β’ Weekly β with a free trial β’ Annual β the best value per week The exact price in your local currency is shown in the app before you confirm. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless auto-renew is switched off at least 24 hours before the current period ends, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours of that. Manage or cancel any time in your Apple Account settings. Any unused part of a free trial is forfeited when you buy a subscription.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Aura at every 3 days against PathSafe's fortnightly. PathSafe's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 26.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
