Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side ā with what reviewers say about each.
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.

Unstable single-node connection? StableRoute combines the multiple VPN nodes you already have to provide a more reliable connection. UNSTABLE CONNECTION, AUTOMATIC NODE SWITCHING If the current connection node becomes unstable, StableRoute automatically switches to a higher-quality node. While connected, we continuously monitor node connection quality. SMART ROUTE SELECTION After you import compatible nodes or a subscription, Smart chooses a better starting route from your current pool. If you prefer full control, you can connect through a specific node at any time. CLEAR, LOCAL, AND IN YOUR CONTROL ⢠See the active node and connection state at a glance. ⢠Organize multiple node pools and choose which pool is active. ⢠Import compatible configurations by URL, QR code, text, or local file. ⢠Keep node configuration and diagnostics on your device. ⢠Review recovery activity when StableRoute changes routes. StableRoute does not provide VPN servers or node subscriptions. You need to import compatible connection details from a provider you trust. Download and try StableRoute free for 60 minutes of successful VPN connection time. A single in-app purchase unlocks StableRoute Plus permanently. No subscription and no automatic renewal.

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Lama Client at none against StableRoute VPN's 1. On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
