# Proton Pass vs Control Panel for YouTube

The clearest difference is price: Proton Pass at Free against Control Panel for YouTube's $3.99. Proton Pass also leads on rating (4.8 vs 3.7) and ratings volume (8.8K vs 9). Control Panel for YouTube's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5) and update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly). On review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Proton Pass is free to download; Control Panel for YouTube costs $3.99 up front. Proton Pass sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $35.90 per year. Control Panel for YouTube asks for nothing beyond the download.

Proton Pass holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Proton Pass has 8.8K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of Proton Pass's written reviews are positive against 70% of Control Panel for YouTube's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Proton Pass ships an update fortnightly, Control Panel for YouTube every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
