The clearest difference is rating: AA Control My Bed at 4.0 against Malouf Base's 3.4. Malouf Base's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 22 months) and ratings volume (67 vs 8). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
AA Control My Bed holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Malouf Base has 67 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of Malouf Base's written reviews are positive against 33% of AA Control My Bed's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Malouf Base ships an update every 2 months, AA Control My Bed every 22 months. The most recent releases landed on September 18, 2026 and September 15, 2026 respectively.
