# Rowmote vs Proxy

The clearest difference is rating: Proxy at 4.5 against Rowmote's 3.0. Proxy also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1). Rowmote's advantage is review sentiment (66% vs 28%) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 3 months). On ratings volume, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Rowmote costs $0.99 and Proxy $2.99 up front. Rowmote sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Proxy asks for nothing beyond the download.

Proxy holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 87 and 77 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of Rowmote's written reviews are positive against 28% of Proxy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Rowmote ships an update every 6 weeks, Proxy every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
