Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: makeracontroller at 3.5 against JMStudio's 1.8. makeracontroller also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). JMStudio's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (25 vs 4). On price, review sentiment, 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.
makeracontroller holds the better App Store score, 3.5 against 1.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: JMStudio has 25 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 5% of JMStudio's written reviews are positive against 0% of makeracontroller's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
JMStudio ships an update every 2 months, makeracontroller every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 6, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
