# Anywhere Proxy vs YingBox

The clearest difference is rating: Anywhere Proxy at 4.6 against YingBox's 4.1. Anywhere Proxy also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and review sentiment (67% vs 50%). YingBox's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 weeks) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Anywhere Proxy sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and YingBox sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Anywhere Proxy holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Anywhere Proxy has 64 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 67% of Anywhere Proxy's written reviews are positive against 50% of YingBox's.
