Ankra is the companion app for the Ankra Kubernetes platform. Manage your clusters, stacks, and add-ons from your iPhone or iPad with native iOS conveniences that the web alone cannot offer. Built for platform engineers and SREs who need cluster health at a glance: ⢠Face ID / Touch ID gate on every launch and after 5 minutes in the background, with device-passcode fallback. ⢠Offline-aware with an active connection probe - the app keeps showing the last view you had and offers a one-tap Reconnect when the network comes back. ⢠ankra:// deep links to jump straight to any cluster, add-on, or stack from links anywhere on your phone. ⢠Native downloads - kubeconfigs, YAML manifests, and platform exports hand off to the iOS Files / Share sheet. ⢠Branded splash and offline screens that match the Ankra design system. ⢠Camera and photo-library integration for attaching screenshots to support tickets. ⢠Optimised WebView - pull-to-refresh, swipe-to-go-back, persistent cookies so you stay logged in between sessions. Requires an active account on platform.ankra.app. Sign up at https://ankra.io or contact sales for a demo. Support: https://docs.ankra.ai Privacy: https://ankra.io/privacy

Verdict
The clearest difference is iOS requirement: KubeNode at 13.0 against Ankra's 15.1. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
