ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Streamlabs Controller holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Streamlabs Controller has 2.2K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 27% of Streamlabs Controller's written reviews are positive against 36% of Netmarble Connect's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 12, 2026 respectively.
