Both are free to download. Magic Home Pro sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. ADA CONTROLLER asks for nothing beyond the download.
Magic Home Pro holds the better App Store score, 2.8 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Magic Home Pro has 929 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 26% of Magic Home Pro's written reviews are positive against 50% of ADA CONTROLLER's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Magic Home Pro ships an update every 6 weeks, ADA CONTROLLER every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
