# Proxygen vs Proxy Capture

The clearest difference is rating: Proxy Capture at 5.0 against Proxygen's 4.3. Proxy Capture also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 83%) and chart position (#157 vs unranked). Proxygen's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (18 vs 3). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Proxygen sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Proxy Capture sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Proxy Capture holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Proxygen has 18 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 83% of Proxygen's written reviews are positive against 100% of Proxy Capture's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 11, 2026 respectively.
