# Proxyman vs SSHHIP

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Proxyman at 799 against SSHHIP's 12. Proxyman also leads on chart position (#9 vs #39). SSHHIP's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 81%). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

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

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Proxyman against 4.9 for SSHHIP. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Proxyman has 799 ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 81% of Proxyman's written reviews are positive against 100% of SSHHIP's.

Proxyman ships an update every 8 days, SSHHIP every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
