Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PVE Admin at none against ProxMan's 3. PVE Admin also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). ProxMan's advantage is ratings volume (99 vs 1) and chart position (#76 vs unranked). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
