Whale VPN helps you set up and manage a VPN connection with a clear, focused interface. Choose a server and connect when you are ready. Whale VPN shows the current connection state, connected time, and current upload and download activity so you can see what is happening at a glance. Before connecting, you can run a network test to view your public IP address, response time, download speed, and upload speed. The test is available while the VPN is disconnected. You can review connection information, reset the VPN configuration from Settings, and read the Privacy Policy in the app. Whale VPN uses the system VPN configuration flow. When you connect for the first time, iOS asks for permission before the VPN configuration is added.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: OneKey VPN at daily against Whale VPN's every 2 weeks. OneKey VPN also leads on iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
