SQ+4You release V2.0.2 This version is for SQ mixers running V2.0.* firmware. Please note: It is NOT compatible with SQ-5, SQ-6, SQ-7 or SQ-Rack mixers. SQ+4You is a personal monitor mixing app for the SQ+ mixer giving you customised control of your own monitor mix on stage using a smart phone or tablet. It is for remote control of a single mix (it does not pass audio), and connects to the SQ+ via a wireless router. SQ+4You allows you to: - Choose any Aux mix to control - Assign which sources to control (Channels, FX returns, Groups) - View channels numbers, names and meters - Control individual channel send levels and pan - Assign up to 4 groups of channels to level trim wheels - Create a 'Me' group for quick control of your own channels - Name each group - Control the Aux mix level and mute - Control the Aux mix PEQ, Graphic EQ and Compressor - Lock the mix and/or processing to prevent user error Requirements: An Allen & Heath SQ+ mixing console with a wireless router (wireless access point) connected to its Network port. The SQ+ mixer firmware and SQ+4You app must share the same major release version (the first two numbers) but maintenance version numbers do not need to be identical, for example SQ+4You V2.0.0 is compatible with SQ firmware V2.0.3. A user must have both ‘SQ+4You’ and access to at least one mix allowed in the SQ+ User Permissions. Refer to the Allen & Heath web site for more information and to download the latest SQ+ mixer firmware.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: SQ+ 4You at 5.0 against MX's 2.6. SQ+ 4You also leads on device support (3 vs 1). MX's advantage is ratings volume (20 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
