# Pluto Controller vs TELLO

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Pluto Controller at 75% against TELLO's 26%. Pluto Controller also leads on rating (4.0 vs 2.1) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). TELLO's advantage is ratings volume (92 vs 8) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 14). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TELLO sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Pluto Controller asks for nothing beyond the download.

Pluto Controller holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 2.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TELLO has 92 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 75% of Pluto Controller's written reviews are positive against 26% of TELLO's.
