# EspBlufi vs RaspController

The clearest difference is rating: RaspController at 4.6 against EspBlufi's 3.3. RaspController also leads on ratings volume (58 vs 3) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 2 months). EspBlufi's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. RaspController sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 3 months. EspBlufi asks for nothing beyond the download.

RaspController holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RaspController has 58 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.

EspBlufi ships an update every 2 months, RaspController every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
