Verdict

The call

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.

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.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

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.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

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.
