# TMPGEnc Smart Tap Controller vs MetaX

The clearest difference is rating: TMPGEnc Smart Tap Controller at 5.0 against MetaX's 4.1. TMPGEnc Smart Tap Controller also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 17.6). MetaX's advantage is review sentiment (70% vs 33%) and ratings volume (12 vs 1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MetaX sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. TMPGEnc Smart Tap Controller asks for nothing beyond the download.

TMPGEnc Smart Tap Controller holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MetaX has 12 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of TMPGEnc Smart Tap Controller's written reviews are positive against 70% of MetaX's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
