# Mr Autofire vs The Mind Controller

The clearest difference is update cadence: Mr Autofire at every 5 days against The Mind Controller's every 5 weeks. Mr Autofire also leads on ratings volume (28K vs 359) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). The Mind Controller's advantage is review sentiment (74% vs 58%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mr Autofire sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and The Mind Controller sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Mr Autofire holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mr Autofire has 28K ratings behind it against 359, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of Mr Autofire's written reviews are positive against 74% of The Mind Controller's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Mr Autofire ships an update every 5 days, The Mind Controller every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
