FlowBridge
Read full descriptionHide full description
FlowBridge is a native VPN and proxy client platform for iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV. FlowBridge does not operate a VPN network itself. It helps users connect to compatible servers, private network configurations, and provider-supplied profiles in one clean Apple-native client. FlowBridge is also built for compatible VPN and proxy providers. Providers and organizations can use FlowBridge as a client platform for managed connectivity, remote work, video meetings, remote education, private network access, and other stable cross-border network scenarios. Your configurations are stored locally where applicable. FlowBridge does not sell personal information or use browsing activity for advertising or tracking.
Lama Client
Read full descriptionHide full description
Lama Client is a VPN client for your own access keys. Add one key or several, and the llama keeps the connection going. IMPORTANT: you need an access key from your provider ā a vless://, vmess://, trojan:// or ss:// link, or a subscription URL. The app does not sell or provide VPN servers. SEVERAL KEYS, ONE QUEUE Keys from different providers live in one list, in the order you choose. Turn on Autopilot, and if the active key drops or the internet stops working through it, the llama connects the next one. You don't have to tap anything. AUTOPILOT ⢠Turns the VPN on by itself on unfamiliar Wi-Fi and on cellular ⢠Trusted networks: no VPN at home or at work ⢠Regularly checks that the connection through the key is alive, and switches keys if it isn't EASY TO ADD A KEY Paste a link from the clipboard, scan a QR code, or load every key from your provider's subscription. Each key shows its latency, and the list can be sorted by speed. Keep a note on a key ā for example, when it expires. ROUTES Pick sites that should open directly, outside the VPN ā your bank, for example. Or the other way round: send only selected sites through the key. THE LLAMA The llama dozes while the VPN is off and stands guard once you're connected. A Home Screen widget turns the VPN on and off without opening the app, and a Live Activity shows the status on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. PRIVACY ⢠No account, no registration, no ads ⢠No analytics or third-party trackers ⢠Keys are stored in the iPhone's encrypted Keychain and never leave the device ⢠We run no servers of our own: traffic goes to your provider's server Protocols: VLESS, VMess, Trojan, Shadowsocks; TLS and Reality; TCP, WebSocket, gRPC, HTTP/2, HTTPUpgrade and XHTTP transports. The connection uses Apple's system VPN mechanism. On first connection iOS asks permission to add a VPN configuration. Requires an iPhone with iOS 17 or later.

Verdict
The clearest difference is device support: FlowBridge at 5 against Lama Client's 1. FlowBridge also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
