# Control Box vs Christmas Robbery

The clearest difference is rating: Control Box at 5.0 against Christmas Robbery's 4.5. Control Box also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 80%). Christmas Robbery's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Control Box sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Christmas Robbery asks for nothing beyond the download.

Control Box holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Christmas Robbery has 55 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of Control Box's written reviews are positive against 80% of Christmas Robbery's.

Control Box ships an update every 3 months, Christmas Robbery fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
