Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: ORSurf at Free against Proxy's $2.99. ORSurf also leads on review sentiment (43% vs 28%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Proxy's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 3.7) and in-app purchases (none vs 2). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
