Zetta routes your iPhone's traffic through the proxy servers in your subscription, following the rules you set. SUBSCRIPTIONS • Paste a subscription URL and Zetta parses the server list. • Keep several subscriptions and switch between them with a tap. • Each subscription can refresh on its own schedule. ROUTING • Rule mode sends mainland China domains and IPs direct and everything else through the server. Global mode sends everything through the server. • Add your own rules: domain, domain suffix, keyword, IP range. • Type a domain to see which rule it would hit before you connect. CONNECTION • Live upload and download speed, connection time, and the last 60 seconds as a chart. • Test server latency before connecting. • A widget on the Home Screen and Lock Screen shows the connection state. • Siri and Shortcuts: "Turn on Zetta", "Zetta connect to Tokyo 01". PRIVACY • No account and no sign-up. Subscription URLs stay on your device. • Zetta has no servers of its own and sends nothing anywhere except to the servers in your subscription. Zetta needs a subscription from a proxy provider. It does not include one.

RouteBoss: Routing, DNS & Diagnostics RouteBoss puts real control over your device's network traffic in your hands: WireGuard tunneling, per-network routing rules, secure DNS, and diagnostics that verify your connection instead of just claiming it's working. RouteBoss is not a VPN service — there are no included servers. Connect it to your own WireGuard endpoint (a server you run or one you already have access to), and RouteBoss handles the rest: routing, DNS, health monitoring, and recovery. Route exactly what you want Send all traffic through your connection, or route only specific networks — your choice, visible and changeable at any time. Organize multiple endpoints into groups with automatic failover, and see exactly which one is carrying your traffic right now, not just which one you configured. DNS that matches your priorities Choose Automatic Secure DNS (Cloudflare, Quad9, Google), a custom resolver, or your system default — over DoH, DoT, or plain System DNS. Every choice is inspectable, not buried in a settings file. Health checks that actually check RouteBoss verifies WireGuard handshake status, route policy, DNS policy, and endpoint reachability and latency — live, on demand — instead of assuming a saved configuration is a working one. When something needs attention, RouteBoss tells you what and why, and keeps a Restore Connectivity path ready. Network tools when you need to know for sure Test whether a host and port are actually reachable, run a DNS lookup, or check an endpoint's reachability, before you trust it. Automate without surprises Set up On-Demand triggers and Quick Rules for automatic connect/disconnect behavior — RouteBoss is explicit about what's inferred versus confirmed, so automation never quietly does something you can't explain. Simple when you want it, deep when you need it Simple Mode covers everyday protection. Expert Mode adds raw Expert Routing rules and rule-set subscriptions for full control — and RouteBoss never discards a configuration Expert Mode can represent just because Simple Mode can't display it. Privacy by default Activity logging is local, configurable, and can be turned off entirely. When it's on, every automated decision is inspectable and reversible — nothing happens silently. Bring your own WireGuard server. RouteBoss handles the routing, the DNS, and the proof that it's actually working.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Zetta Link at none against RouteBoss's shown. Zetta Link also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
