# Proxygen vs WorldWideWeb

The clearest difference is update cadence: Proxygen at every 2 weeks against WorldWideWeb's every 4 months. WorldWideWeb's advantage is monetization model (free vs freemium) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Proxygen sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and WorldWideWeb sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

WorldWideWeb holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 18 and 39 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Proxygen's written reviews are positive against 76% of WorldWideWeb's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Proxygen ships an update every 2 weeks, WorldWideWeb every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
