Both are free to download. Check My Device sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Pixel Control sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Check My Device holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Check My Device has 92 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 47% of Check My Device's written reviews are positive against 50% of Pixel Control's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Check My Device ships an update every 3 months, Pixel Control every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and June 21, 2026 respectively.
