Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: mconnect control at every 3 weeks against Advance Playstream's every 4 months. mconnect control also leads on review sentiment (32% vs 21%) and ratings volume (31 vs 6). Advance Playstream's advantage is iOS requirement (10.0 vs 13.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Advance Playstream holds the better App Store score, 2.8 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: mconnect control has 31 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 32% of mconnect control's written reviews are positive against 21% of Advance Playstream's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
mconnect control ships an update every 3 weeks, Advance Playstream every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 19, 2026 and August 5, 2026 respectively.
