Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: ProxUs at 100% against tellonym's 38%. ProxUs also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). tellonym's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (145K vs 4). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. tellonym sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. ProxUs asks for nothing beyond the download.
tellonym holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: tellonym has 145K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 38% of tellonym's written reviews are positive against 100% of ProxUs's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
tellonym ships an update every 3 days, ProxUs every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on November 12, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
