V Plane is your personal plane in a world of boundless internet. The app turns your phone into a lightweight and powerful aircraft that connects to your own Xray-core proxy infrastructure. It doesn't provide ready-made servers—it's a cockpit for your V2Ray/Xray configurations. What you get: Freedom of Flight Rise above any blockages and restrictions. Fly wherever you want—without borders or censorship. Travel Through the Clouds Even when the internet becomes unstable, V Plane maintains its course confidently. Videos play smoothly, websites load quickly, and downloads are uninterrupted. You continue flying even through connection turbulence. Full route control Set your own DNS servers, create complex routing rules, and direct traffic exactly as you need. Every flight—by your rules. Easy takeoff The interface is so intuitive that it only takes a couple of minutes from the first launch to a successful connection. No complicated setup required—just land and fly. Adding connections Two convenient methods are supported: • Quickly insert a pre-existing configuration • Manually create a connection from scratch Important to understand V Plane is not a VPN provider or a ready-made service with servers. It is a client application (shell) that allows you to conveniently and reliably work with your own configurations. To start flying, you will need your own server that supports these technologies.
PulseStar

PulseStar is a free VPN client for employees of organizations using managed server infrastructure. A profile from your organization’s administrator is required to connect. Organizations separately pay for infrastructure deployment, configuration and maintenance services; employees do not buy subscriptions, access codes or individual app licenses. QR codes, codes and files provide connection configuration and authorization, not purchases of app features. Features: • Add access using a QR code, code or file. • Select an available server. • Automatic transport selection: TCP, then QUIC and UDP when needed. • Manual TCP, QUIC or UDP selection. • View connection status. • Access permitted local services directly using administrator-defined routing rules, while other traffic continues through the VPN. • Optional technical diagnostics to help investigate connection failures. The app is free to download and use. Available servers, access duration and limits depend on your profile and your organization’s infrastructure configuration. You can turn diagnostic reporting off in Settings. See the privacy policy for details about data processing.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: PulseStar at fortnightly against V Plane's monthly. V Plane's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
