Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: My Porsche at 4.7 against Control4's 3.5. My Porsche also leads on ratings volume (13K vs 75). Control4's advantage is review sentiment (39% vs 25%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

My Porsche holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: My Porsche has 13K ratings behind it against 75, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of My Porsche's written reviews are positive against 39% of Control4'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 fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
