Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ProxyPin at none against Scriptable's 3. ProxyPin also leads on review sentiment (82% vs 69%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.5). Scriptable's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 5 weeks) and ratings volume (3.8K vs 108). On price, ads, chart position and device support 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. Scriptable sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. ProxyPin asks for nothing beyond the download.
Scriptable holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Scriptable has 3.8K ratings behind it against 108, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 69% of Scriptable's written reviews are positive against 82% of ProxyPin's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Scriptable ships an update every 4 days, ProxyPin every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 1, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
