# Docker Server Admin vs ProxMate

The clearest difference is rating: Docker Server Admin at 4.7 against ProxMate's 4.2. Docker Server Admin also leads on ratings volume (144 vs 26) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.6). ProxMate's advantage is review sentiment (88% vs 64%) and update cadence (every 2 weeks 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.

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 144 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.

Docker Server Admin ships an update every 2 months, ProxMate every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
