# xTerminal vs iProxy

The clearest difference is rating: xTerminal at 4.7 against iProxy's 3.9. xTerminal also leads on ratings volume (2K vs 66). iProxy's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, chart position and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. xTerminal sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. iProxy asks for nothing beyond the download.

xTerminal holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: xTerminal has 2K ratings behind it against 66, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 68% of xTerminal's written reviews are positive against 66% of iProxy's.

xTerminal ships an update every 3 weeks, iProxy weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
