# Proxygen vs PacketPro

The clearest difference is rating: PacketPro at 5.0 against Proxygen's 4.3. PacketPro also leads on monetization model (free vs freemium). Proxygen's advantage is ratings volume (18 vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). 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 PacketPro sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PacketPro 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 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Proxygen ships an update every 2 weeks, PacketPro weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 8, 2026 respectively.
