# Docker Management vs ProxMate

The clearest difference is review sentiment: ProxMate at 88% against Docker Management's 40%. ProxMate also leads on rating (4.2 vs 3.0) and chart position (#73 vs unranked). Docker Management's advantage is iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.6). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Docker Management sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and ProxMate sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ProxMate holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ProxMate has 26 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 40% of Docker Management's written reviews are positive against 88% of ProxMate's.

Docker Management ships an update monthly, ProxMate every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
