Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Streamlabs Controller at none against GameTree's shown. Streamlabs Controller also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.3). GameTree's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (37% vs 27%). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. GameTree sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Streamlabs Controller sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $34.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Streamlabs Controller holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 2.3K and 2.2K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 37% of GameTree's written reviews are positive against 27% of Streamlabs Controller's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

GameTree ships an update every 3 weeks, Streamlabs Controller every 2 months. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
