Restarting a hung VM from your phone shouldn't mean pinch-zooming the Proxmox web UI until you rage-quit and SSH in instead. ProxWatch fixes that. Your whole cluster in a fast, native app - one glance tells you if everything's green. Start, stop, or reboot any VM or container in two taps, confirmed with Face ID. Open a real console: native VNC and a proper terminal, with the Ctrl, Esc, and arrow keys your keyboard actually needs. Headless node? You get a text shell, not a graphical console you can't use. No account, no cloud, no relay in the middle. ProxWatch talks only to your own server - over your LAN or Tailscale / VPN - and your API token never leaves your phone. Your homelab, finally in your pocket. Done right.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ProxWatch at none against Cheap VPN's 3. ProxWatch also leads on ads (none vs shown). Cheap VPN's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 17.0). On price there is nothing between them.
