makeracontroller holds the better App Store score, 3.5 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Drill has 25 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of Drill's written reviews are positive against 0% of makeracontroller's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Drill ships an update every 6 weeks, makeracontroller every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on June 11, 2026 and September 6, 2026 respectively.
