# ProxMate vs ProxMan

The clearest difference is rating: ProxMan at 4.7 against ProxMate's 4.2. ProxMan also leads on ratings volume (87 vs 26). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ProxMate sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and ProxMan sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ProxMan holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 26 and 87 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of ProxMate's written reviews are positive against 81% of ProxMan'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, ProxMan every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 20, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
