# RhythMic vs Hand Control

The clearest difference is rating: RhythMic at 5.0 against Hand Control's 4.5. RhythMic also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Hand Control's advantage is ratings volume (769 vs 3) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. RhythMic sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Hand Control sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

RhythMic holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hand Control has 769 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.

RhythMic ships an update every 2 months, Hand Control every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 9, 2026 respectively.
