Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Profoto Control holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Profoto Control has 896 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 38% of Profoto Control's written reviews are positive against 50% of WHCC Studio's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Profoto Control ships an update every 2 months, WHCC Studio every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
