# ProxMate vs Forgejo Heatmap

The clearest difference is rating: ProxMate at 4.2 against Forgejo Heatmap's 3.0. ProxMate also leads on ratings volume (26 vs 2) and chart position (#58 vs unranked). Forgejo Heatmap's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and review sentiment (100% vs 88%). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ProxMate sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Forgejo Heatmap asks for nothing beyond the download.

ProxMate holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ProxMate has 26 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of ProxMate's written reviews are positive against 100% of Forgejo Heatmap'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, Forgejo Heatmap fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
