Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: FER Péage at 80% against Autoterm Control's 36%. FER Péage also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). Autoterm Control's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.6). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Autoterm Control holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 2 and 2 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 36% of Autoterm Control's written reviews are positive against 80% of FER Péage's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Autoterm Control ships an update every 3 months, FER Péage every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 4, 2026 respectively.
