Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Helmarr at 4.8 against OLED Control's 4.4. Helmarr also leads on ratings volume (192 vs 7). OLED Control's advantage is iOS requirement (17.6 vs 26.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Helmarr sells 19 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and OLED Control sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Helmarr holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Helmarr has 192 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of Helmarr's written reviews are positive against 80% of OLED Control'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 weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
