# Helmarr vs OLED Control

The clearest difference is rating: Helmarr at 4.7 against OLED Control's 4.4. Helmarr also leads on ratings volume (193 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.

Helmarr holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Helmarr has 193 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.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
