# iNet vs Range XTD Controls

The clearest difference is rating: iNet at 4.5 against Range XTD Controls's 2.3. iNet also leads on ratings volume (2.5K vs 4). Range XTD Controls's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 5 weeks). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iNet sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Range XTD Controls asks for nothing beyond the download.

iNet holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iNet has 2.5K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of iNet's written reviews are positive against 97% of Range XTD Controls's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

iNet ships an update every 5 weeks, Range XTD Controls every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and June 10, 2026 respectively.
