Unstable single-node connection? StableRoute combines the multiple VPN nodes you already have to provide a more reliable connection. UNSTABLE CONNECTION, AUTOMATIC NODE SWITCHING If the current connection node becomes unstable, StableRoute automatically switches to a higher-quality node. While connected, we continuously monitor node connection quality. SMART ROUTE SELECTION After you import compatible nodes or a subscription, Smart chooses a better starting route from your current pool. If you prefer full control, you can connect through a specific node at any time. CLEAR, LOCAL, AND IN YOUR CONTROL ⢠See the active node and connection state at a glance. ⢠Organize multiple node pools and choose which pool is active. ⢠Import compatible configurations by URL, QR code, text, or local file. ⢠Keep node configuration and diagnostics on your device. ⢠Review recovery activity when StableRoute changes routes. StableRoute does not provide VPN servers or node subscriptions. You need to import compatible connection details from a provider you trust. Download and try StableRoute free for 60 minutes of successful VPN connection time. A single in-app purchase unlocks StableRoute Plus permanently. No subscription and no automatic renewal.

The clearest difference is update cadence: StableRoute VPN at daily against Sovatun's every 2 days. Sovatun's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
