# Wolow vs Control OBS

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Control OBS at 100% against Wolow's 57%. Control OBS also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.3) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). Wolow's advantage is ratings volume (1.4K vs 2) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Wolow sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Control OBS asks for nothing beyond the download.

Control OBS holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wolow has 1.4K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 57% of Wolow's written reviews are positive against 100% of Control OBS's.

Wolow ships an update every 3 weeks, Control OBS every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
