# Proxyman vs Shipcode

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Shipcode at none against Proxyman's 5. Shipcode also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). Proxyman's advantage is ratings volume (806 vs 1) and chart position (#11 vs unranked). On price, ads 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. Shipcode asks for nothing beyond the download.

Shipcode holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Proxyman has 806 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
