# Proxygen vs La Terminal

The clearest difference is rating: La Terminal at 4.7 against Proxygen's 4.3. La Terminal also leads on ratings volume (103 vs 18). Proxygen's advantage is review sentiment (83% vs 66%) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.6). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Proxygen sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and La Terminal sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

La Terminal holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: La Terminal has 103 ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Proxygen's written reviews are positive against 66% of La Terminal'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, La Terminal every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 8, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
