# Orange Door Request vs ION Sound Control™

The clearest difference is rating: ION Sound Control™ at 2.5 against Orange Door Request's 1.7. ION Sound Control™ also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 15 months) and ratings volume (96 vs 7). Orange Door Request's advantage is review sentiment (38% vs 20%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

ION Sound Control™ holds the better App Store score, 2.5 against 1.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ION Sound Control™ has 96 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 38% of Orange Door Request's written reviews are positive against 20% of ION Sound Control™'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Orange Door Request ships an update every 15 months, ION Sound Control™ every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
