# Proxyman vs Web Sync

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Proxyman at 800 against Web Sync's 1. Proxyman also leads on chart position (#11 vs unranked). Web Sync's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Proxyman sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month and Web Sync sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Web Sync holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Proxyman has 800 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
