Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: 1Control at 53% against CieID's 9%. CieID's advantage is rating (4.2 vs 2.5) and ratings volume (215 vs 2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases 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.
CieID holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CieID has 215 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 53% of 1Control's written reviews are positive against 9% of CieID's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. Both last shipped on September 23, 2026.
