Proxygen vs DockerHub
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
Proxygen
This tool allows developers to intercept, inspect, and modify HTTP traffic from their iOS devices on a Mac. It offers advanced features like JavaScript scripting for traffic manipulation and a syntax-aware editor for debugging API endpoints.
- Send iOS device traffic to Mac
- Modify proxied traffic with JavaScript
- Match and replace headers/body data
- Syntax highlighting HTTP editor
- WebSocket and SSE message capture
- Local VPN extension for proxying

Proxygen is the best HTTP proxy tool for testing apps and debugging remote API endpoints right on your iPhone, iPad and Mac. And it’s built to delight you while doing it. Features • Send iOS device traffic to remote Mac • Write JavaScript to modify proxied traffic • Store state in variables for use in Editor • Match and replace headers and body data • Test API endpoints with assertions • Transform data with custom recipes • Syntax highlighting HTTP message editor • Message history with powerful filtering • WebSocket and SSE message capture • Store all data in documents SEND TO MAC Easily capture HTTP messages from an iPhone or iPad on your Mac. Traffic is mirrored to the paired Mac over local network even when the iOS app is not active. The Mac app can intercept and edit data of requests and responses before they are forwarded. No more futzing around with Wi-Fi proxy settings and trusted certificates. SCRIPTING Write JavaScript code that modifies proxied traffic. Scripts have access to requests and responses, letting you rewrite headers, URLs and body content, inject data, or implement conditional logic that goes beyond what static rules can express. SYNTAX AWARE EDITOR Edit requests from the message history or create new to any target. All previously sent requests are kept in the project file so you can return to your work later. The editor uses Tree-sitter for fast language parsing and syntax highlighting. It handles decoding of HTTP content automatically, letting you focus on testing the remote API. SERVER GRADE PERFORMANCE The magic lies in a little custom HTTP proxy that the iOS app runs in a local VPN extension. This proxy was developed using SwiftNIO, a framework for bizarrely fast asynchronous network applications. The proxy can perform TLS Manipulator in the Middle (MitM) to see inside HTTPS connections and apply custom logic to each message. To put it bluntly, you’ve probably never seen a HTTP proxy this fast before. And you likely won’t notice that your web browsing is even proxied at all. PRIVACY Proxygen contains no third party frameworks for crash reporting or analytics. Note that Proxygen is a TLS MitM proxy, which means that it sees HTTPS network traffic in plain text. This data is transferred from the proxy to the Proxygen app and stored as part of the project document. Make sure you handle the documents accordingly, as they may contain sensitive data such as session tokens and login credentials.

DockerHub manages the Docker containers on servers you already own. It speaks the real Docker Engine API over an ordinary SSH connection — the same mechanism the official docker CLI uses for `docker -H ssh://`. That means there is nothing to install on your servers, no port to open, and no daemon listening on TCP. WHAT YOU GET • Live instruments — radial gauges, segmented meters and sparklines driven by real readings from the daemon. Where a value cannot be measured it is shown as unknown, never as a zero that looks like a reading. • A health scorecard — eleven checks across availability, observability, security and hygiene: containers with no restart policy, ports published to the whole network, the Docker socket mounted into a container, running as root, floating image tags. The grade is explainable line by line. • Activity with the pattern visible — a density chart across 24 hours, repeated events collapsed into one row with their rhythm, and burst detection when several containers fail on one host inside the same minute. • Your whole fleet at once — every server connects on launch. A matrix compares servers against metrics and services against servers, so a database missing from one host is obvious. • Real terminal access — follow logs as they stream, open an interactive shell inside a container, browse its filesystem, read a full inspect. • Themes that are actually yours — every colour, radius, font scale and density is a token you can change. PRIVACY No account, no sign-in, no server of ours in the middle. Credentials are held in your device keychain and sent only to the server you are connecting to. Analytics is off unless you turn it on, and never records hostnames, credentials, container names or log contents.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: DockerHub at 5.0 against Proxygen's 4.3. DockerHub also leads on monetization model (free vs freemium). Proxygen's advantage is ratings volume (18 vs 2) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Proxygen sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and DockerHub sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
DockerHub 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 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
