As a mobile developer, I often need to set up a LAN proxy on my phone for development and testing. The usual method involves manually entering IPs and ports without saving configurations, which is inefficient when switching between proxy and direct connections. To solve this, I created ProxyTap, a smart tool designed to streamline LAN proxy management. It supports one-click switching, automatic configuration saving, and significantly boosts debugging efficiency, making the workflow smoother and faster. Key Features: Automatic Proxy Detection: Scans your local network to detect proxy tools (such as Charles, ProxyMan, or Mitmproxy) automatically. One-Click Switching: Instantly toggle between proxy and direct connections with a single click, eliminating the need for manual IP/port entry. Widget Support: Switch connections directly from the widget—no need to open the app, saving time and effort. Real-Time Status Monitoring: Automatically monitors the availability of proxy services and provides real-time feedback to ensure seamless debugging. Bulk Configuration Management: Manage multiple proxy configurations and switch between different projects or environments with ease.

BusyIp

busyip sells prepaid mobile and residential proxy bandwidth to businesses. This app is the dashboard for an account you already have. WHAT IT DOES • See how much traffic is left, at a glance • Copy your proxy connection string — ready to paste into whatever you run it through • Copy an HTTP or SOCKS5 address, whichever your tooling wants • See your usage day by day • Rotate your proxy password if you have lost it, or save the one you already use • Reach support by chat or email HOW BUSYIP IS DIFFERENT The IP addresses come from real people who agreed to share their connection and are paid for the traffic they carry. It is a small, honest network rather than a claimed pool of millions. Traffic is prepaid and never expires. There is no subscription and nothing renews. WHERE YOUR BANDWIDTH IS USED Your bandwidth is used by your own software — a scraper, a browser, a test suite — on whatever machine you run it on. Create your account in the app, verified by SMS, or sign in with one you already made at busyip.com.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BusyIp at none against ProxyTap's 2. BusyIp also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs monthly). ProxyTap's advantage is chart position (#154 vs unranked) and device support (3 vs 1). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
