The clearest difference is rating: Proxyman at 4.8 against iProxy's 4.1. Proxyman also leads on review sentiment (81% vs 66%) and ratings volume (800 vs 55). iProxy's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5) and iOS requirement (15 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, ads and chart position there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Proxyman sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month. iProxy asks for nothing beyond the download.

Proxyman holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.1.
