Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Bed Control at 4.0 against Malouf Base's 3.4. Malouf Base's advantage is review sentiment (40% vs 17%) and ratings volume (67 vs 5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Bed Control holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Malouf Base has 67 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 17% of Bed Control's written reviews are positive against 40% of Malouf Base's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Bed Control ships an update every 4 months, Malouf Base every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
