Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: GrafLens at every 2 days against ProxMan's every 3 weeks. GrafLens also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). ProxMan's advantage is ratings volume (87 vs 1) and chart position (#78 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support 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. ProxMan sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and GrafLens sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
GrafLens holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ProxMan has 87 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
ProxMan ships an update every 3 weeks, GrafLens every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 11, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
