# TonePrint vs UAFX Control

The clearest difference is rating: TonePrint at 2.6 against UAFX Control's 2.1. TonePrint also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). UAFX Control's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
