# Spider Proxy vs Carapace

The clearest difference is rating: Carapace at 5.0 against Spider Proxy's 3.8. Carapace also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 8) and review sentiment (100% vs 67%). Spider Proxy's advantage is ratings volume (10 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.5). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Spider Proxy sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Carapace asks for nothing beyond the download.

Carapace 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. Written reviews point the same way: 67% of Spider Proxy's written reviews are positive against 100% of Carapace's.
