# X vs Spatial Control

X and Spatial Control both sit at 4.1 stars, but that hides the real split: 33% of X's written reviews are positive against 0% of Spatial Control's. Spatial Control's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 5 months). On price, rating, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Spatial Control holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 13 and 11 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of X's written reviews are positive against 0% of Spatial Control's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

X ships an update every 5 months, Spatial Control monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
