Meet a superb Web Debugging Proxy that can act like a middleman, aka Proxyman. ### Features - Directly Capture & Inspect HTTP/HTTPS from your iOS/iPad Devices without using MacBooks. - Decrypt and View HTTP/HTTPS Request/Response in plain text - JSON Syntax Highlighting - Exclusively designed for iPhone and iPad (Landscape and Two Columns) - Share traffic to Proxyman macOS - a native macOS app for better inspection - Pin working domains - Quick filter with URL, Header Body, and Type of Request/Response (e.g., JSON, Form, HTML, CSS, Document, etc) - Better Request/Response Previewer: Multiple columns, JSON Preview, JSON TreeView, etc - Safe Lock: Protect your sensitive data with FaceID / TouchID / Passcode - Advanced Debugging Tools: SSL Proxying, Block List, Map Local, Breakpoint, etc - Rewrite & Scripting ### Proxyman macOS Proxyman for iOS works perfectly with Proxyman for macOS (native macOS app, supports macOS 26 and M4 Chip) ### How it works Proxyman iOS creates a local VPN on your device and then forwards all traffic to a Local Man-in-The-Middle Server. As long as the VPN is active, Proxyman iOS can capture all traffic over Wi-Fi and cellular Data. ### How about my sensitive data? - Proxyman Root Certificate is a self-signed certificate that is generated on your local machine. Thus, all requests and responses are captured and stored on your devices and Proxyman does not have access to your data. - There are no remote servers involved. What’s in your devices, it’s in your devices. ************* - Support: https://proxyman.com/support - Privacy Policy: https://proxyman.com/privacy - Terms of Services: https://proxyman.com/terms-of-use

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Proxyman at every 8 days against Debug Anywhere's every 4 weeks. Proxyman also leads on ratings volume (799 vs 54) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). Debug Anywhere's advantage is review sentiment (94% vs 81%) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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. Proxyman sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month and Debug Anywhere sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $9.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Proxyman holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Proxyman has 799 ratings behind it against 54, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of Proxyman's written reviews are positive against 94% of Debug Anywhere's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Proxyman ships an update every 8 days, Debug Anywhere every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
