# MIPC vs Control

The clearest difference is rating: Control at 5.0 against MIPC's 2.1. Control also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 11). MIPC's advantage is ratings volume (2.2K vs 3) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MIPC sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Control asks for nothing beyond the download.

Control holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MIPC has 2.2K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.

MIPC ships an update fortnightly, Control every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and June 3, 2026 respectively.
