Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Termix at 4.8 against ProxMate's 4.2. Termix also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks) and ratings volume (165 vs 26). ProxMate's advantage is chart position (#94 vs unranked) and review sentiment (88% vs 78%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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. ProxMate sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Termix sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Termix holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Termix has 165 ratings behind it against 26, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of ProxMate's written reviews are positive against 78% of Termix's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
ProxMate ships an update every 2 weeks, Termix every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
