Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Somfy myLink at 4.3 against Total Control Mobile's 2.0. Somfy myLink also leads on ratings volume (9.1K vs 6). Total Control Mobile's advantage is review sentiment (53% vs 17%) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 4 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Somfy myLink holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Somfy myLink has 9.1K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 53% of Total Control Mobile's written reviews are positive against 17% of Somfy myLink's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Total Control Mobile ships an update every 5 weeks, Somfy myLink every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
