Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: EldTrade at none against Streamlabs Controller's 2. EldTrade also leads on review sentiment (50% vs 27%) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). Streamlabs Controller's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). On price, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Streamlabs Controller holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Streamlabs Controller has 2.2K ratings behind it against 48, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 27% of Streamlabs Controller's written reviews are positive against 50% of EldTrade's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Streamlabs Controller ships an update every 2 months, EldTrade every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
