Do I have to pay again when a new Proxifier major version comes out?

Generally yes — Proxifier's one-time license is tied to a major version, so a new major release typically means paying a discounted upgrade fee to stay current. With ProxyTool there are no paid major-version jumps; the latest version is always included in your plan.

Is ProxyTool cheaper than Proxifier?

It's a different model. Proxifier is a one-time purchase; ProxyTool is a subscription that includes continuous updates, cloud sync, a built-in proxy marketplace, and team/fleet management. For a single static setup a one-time license can be fine; if you want to stay current across devices or a whole team, ProxyTool usually works out better. Start with a 7-day free trial.

Will I lose my Proxifier configuration if I switch?

No. ProxyTool imports your .ppx profile — proxies, rules, DNS settings — and recovers DPAPI-encrypted passwords automatically. Nothing to re-enter.

How Proxifier licensing actually works

This is the part most "update" searches miss.

Proxifier sells a one-time license. Inside the same major version (for example Windows v4.x), maintenance updates are typically free for license holders — OS fixes, small UI tweaks, stability. That part is fair and useful.

The catch shows up later: when a new major release series ships, existing users generally need a paid upgrade to move up. Licenses are also sold per platform, and depending on current terms can be limited when you want to move a key to another computer — so a second PC, a laptop swap, or jumping between Windows and macOS can mean buying again. (Always check Proxifier's official site for current pricing and license terms — they can change.)

ProxyTool takes the opposite approach: you pay monthly or annually, and every new feature and every build is included. No "major version" repurchase. Sign in on another machine and your rules are already there. Team plans cover a whole fleet without juggling seat keys by hand. We're an independent product and not affiliated with Proxifier.

Is a one-time license cheaper?

Sometimes — on day one, on one machine. Over years, it depends.

A one-time price looks cheaper on day one, and for a single PC that never needs a major upgrade or a second seat, Proxifier's model can still win on pure sticker price. That's fair.

Where the math flips: you buy again for a major series, you buy again for another platform, or you can't cleanly move a key when you replace a laptop. Suddenly "one-time" becomes several times. ProxyTool costs every month — but that fee covers continuous updates, every device on your account, and team scaling without hunting for upgrade coupons.
