Duck Connect
Read full descriptionHide full description
DuckConnect turns a configuration you already have into a working connection. Paste the link, pick an endpoint, tap once โ protocol handling and routing are the app's job, not yours. Works with any provider. The app ships no servers and no access of its own: point it at a subscription link or a single configuration and it reads whatever comes back โ a server list or one endpoint, plain text or base64 โ applying the routing rules exactly as they were written. Key features: โข Modern protocols, including VLESS and REALITY โข Compatibility with XTLS-based configurations โข Import by link, QR code, or clipboard โข Built on the v2ray/xray core โข Endpoint list with live response times โข Live download and upload speed with a session timer โข Automatic refresh, so new endpoints appear on their own โข One-tap connection management โข Light and dark themes The account keeps only what it needs to work: your sign-in email or ID, your subscription status and an install identifier, so the account stays after you reinstall the app.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Duck Connect at none against matoraVPN's 12. matoraVPN's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
