# RaspController vs Tearoff

The clearest difference is rating: Tearoff at 5.0 against RaspController's 4.5. Tearoff also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 5 weeks). RaspController's advantage is ratings volume (57 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. RaspController sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 3 months and Tearoff sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Tearoff holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RaspController has 57 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

RaspController ships an update every 5 weeks, Tearoff every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
