Where ProxyTool goes deeper
Beyond "route an app" — the layers Proxifier never added.
Team Premium & shared seats
Invite your team, share policies, and keep everyone on the same routing rules — no emailing .ppx files around.
Fleet management
See devices online, push configs in one click, lock rules so nobody breaks critical routing across the fleet.
AI rule builder
Describe routing in plain English — "Chrome via US residential, Slack direct" — and ProxyTool builds the rule for you.
Web analytics dashboard
Bandwidth per domain and process, live device status, usage across the team — in the browser, not only on one PC.
Marketplace + routing in one place
Buy residential, ISP, datacenter, and mobile IPs inside ProxyTool, then route them immediately — no copy-paste credentials.
Leak protection built in
WebRTC, DNS, and IP leak hardening with EV code-signed components — not a separate toolkit.
The verdict
Neither is "better" in the abstract — it depends on what you need.
