Verdict
The clearest difference is price: ProxMate at Free against Kuber's $9.99. ProxMate also leads on review sentiment (88% vs 67%). Kuber's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.2) and in-app purchases (none vs 6). On ratings volume, update cadence, ads and chart position there is nothing between them.

ProxMate is free to download; Kuber costs $9.99 up front. ProxMate sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Kuber asks for nothing beyond the download.
Kuber holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 77 and 26 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Kuber's written reviews are positive against 88% of ProxMate's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Kuber ships an update every 3 weeks, ProxMate every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 19, 2026.
