Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ProxyPin at none against Happy's 1. ProxyPin also leads on review sentiment (84% vs 71%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). Happy's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.5) and update cadence (weekly vs every 5 weeks). On price, ads, chart position and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Happy holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Happy has 991 ratings behind it against 102, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 84% of ProxyPin's written reviews are positive against 71% of Happy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

ProxyPin ships an update every 5 weeks, Happy weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
