Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
ADT Control ® holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ADT Control ® has 494K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 12% of ADT Control ®'s written reviews are positive against 100% of CHeKT.com's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
ADT Control ® ships an update every 4 months, CHeKT.com every 8 months. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 10, 2026 respectively.
