Furthermore, this controller implements 3 command types for the slider pad in order to respond to various editing patterns. Of course, you can use several slider pads simultaneously. -The Freedom to Adapt the Layout According to Various Purposes.- In TMPGEnc Smart Tap Controller, you can change the placement layout of the pads and can assign a command to each pad.

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.
TMPGEnc Smart Tap Controller holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SOMATO has 5 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 69% of SOMATO's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
