# Proxyman vs Terminal#

The clearest difference is monetization model: Proxyman at free with in-app purchases against Terminal#'s subscription. Proxyman also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 5 months) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). Terminal#'s advantage is review sentiment (91% vs 81%) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Proxyman sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month and Terminal# sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Proxyman holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Proxyman has 800 ratings behind it against 153, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of Proxyman's written reviews are positive against 91% of Terminal#'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Proxyman ships an update weekly, Terminal# every 5 months. Both last shipped on September 27, 2026.
