Clash Verge vs Mihomo Party (Clash Party): Which Should You Choose?
If you searched “mihomo party clash verge”, you’re probably torn between the two Mihomo GUI clients. The bottom line first: they share a kernel and subscriptions are interchangeable — the choice comes down to framework and feature priorities.
Note: Mihomo Party was renamed Clash Party (repo mihomo-party-org/clash-party, site mihomo.party). Below we keep the familiar name “Mihomo Party”.
In one sentence #
- Want the lightest, most mature, biggest ecosystem → Clash Verge Rev
- Want out-of-the-box TUN (no service mode) + WebDAV backup + deep Sub-Store integration + Win7/8 support → Mihomo Party / Clash Party
Both are built on the Mihomo kernel, so subscription links are interchangeable — you can switch anytime.

Who each suits #
Choose Clash Verge Rev if you:
- care about memory/disk footprint and want a lighter desktop client;
- want the most mature client with the largest ecosystem of third-party guides and rules;
- don’t mind installing Service Mode once to use TUN.
Choose Mihomo Party / Clash Party if you:
- want TUN out of the box without fiddling with service mode;
- need WebDAV cloud backup to sync config across devices;
- are a heavy Sub-Store user for managing/converting subscriptions;
- are still on Windows 7/8.
Migration: subscriptions just work #
Because both use the Mihomo kernel:
- Copy the subscription URL from your old client.
- Install the new client (Clash Verge download, or get Mihomo Party from mihomo.party).
- Paste and import the subscription URL → pick a node → enable the proxy.
Custom rules and overrides must be re-applied in the new client per its own method (for Clash Verge see adding rules).
