Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Signify MasterConnect holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 1.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sensor Switch VLP has 26 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of Sensor Switch VLP's written reviews are positive against 0% of Signify MasterConnect's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Sensor Switch VLP ships an update every 5 months, Signify MasterConnect every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 10, 2026 and August 12, 2026 respectively.
