Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
ELAC SUB Control 2.0 holds the better App Store score, 2.7 against 2.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SofaBaton has 289 ratings behind it against 34, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 30% of ELAC SUB Control 2.0's written reviews are positive against 36% of SofaBaton's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on July 25, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
