# Control Ultimate Edition vs MadTide

The clearest difference is price: MadTide at Free against Control Ultimate Edition's $4.99. MadTide also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.1) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.1). Control Ultimate Edition's advantage is ratings volume (358 vs 2) and chart position (#31 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

MadTide is free to download; Control Ultimate Edition costs $4.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
