# Spider Proxy vs PacketPro

The clearest difference is rating: PacketPro at 5.0 against Spider Proxy's 3.8. PacketPro also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). Spider Proxy's advantage is ratings volume (10 vs 1) and chart position (#180 vs unranked). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Spider Proxy sells 8 one-off in-app purchases 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 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Spider Proxy has 10 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Spider Proxy ships an update every 3 weeks, PacketPro weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 8, 2026 respectively.
