# Mirror Control vs C

The clearest difference is rating: C at 4.5 against Mirror Control's 1.3. C also leads on update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 16 months) and ratings volume (2.3K vs 3). Mirror Control's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 11) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. C sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Mirror Control asks for nothing beyond the download.

C holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 1.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: C has 2.3K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 29% of Mirror Control's written reviews are positive against 51% of C's.

Mirror Control ships an update every 16 months, C every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
