WireRoute
Read full descriptionHide full description
WireRoute is a focused WireGuard client for iPhone that makes everyday routing choices clear. Use your existing WireGuard configuration, import a profile from a file or QR code, or create one from scratch. Each profile can switch between Split Tunnel and Full Tunnel routing without maintaining duplicate configurations. Highlights: - Standard WireGuard protocol - Split Tunnel for selected networks - Full Tunnel for all supported traffic - Unsupported address-family blocking in Full Tunnel mode - Profile import from a file, archive, or QR code - On-demand activation options - Configuration export and diagnostic logs WireRoute does not provide a VPN subscription or server. You need access to a compatible WireGuard endpoint and a valid configuration.
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: WireRoute at 3 against Lama Client's 1. On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
