Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Docker Server Admin at 4.7 against ProxMate's 4.2. Docker Server Admin also leads on ratings volume (145 vs 26) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.6). ProxMate's advantage is review sentiment (88% vs 64%) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Docker Server Admin sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $29.99 per year 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.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Docker Server Admin holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Docker Server Admin has 145 ratings behind it against 26, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of Docker Server Admin's written reviews are positive against 88% of ProxMate's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Docker Server Admin ships an update every 2 months, ProxMate fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
