Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: MVS PRO+ at 100% against RControl's 29%. MVS PRO+ also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). RControl's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 1.0) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
RControl holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RControl has 4K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of RControl's written reviews are positive against 100% of MVS PRO+'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
RControl ships an update every 3 weeks, MVS PRO+ every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 1, 2026 respectively.
