# Volume Control vs Increase Volume

The clearest difference is rating: Increase Volume at 5.0 against Volume Control's 4.5. Increase Volume also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months). Volume Control's advantage is ratings volume (92 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Volume Control sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Increase Volume sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Increase Volume holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Volume Control has 92 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Volume Control ships an update every 2 months, Increase Volume every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
