# WebDebug vs Proxycat

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Proxycat at 100% against WebDebug's 0%. Proxycat also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). WebDebug's advantage is ratings volume (23 vs 2) and chart position (#179 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. WebDebug sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and Proxycat sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Proxycat holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WebDebug has 23 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 0% of WebDebug's written reviews are positive against 100% of Proxycat's.

WebDebug ships an update every 2 months, Proxycat fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 10, 2026 respectively.
