I honestly use a Eheim Jager heater and have been for about 5 years and still going strong. I was wanting to get a Apex one day but since I couldn’t afford one I made a DIY temp controller and have maybe $30 invested in it. Here is the link: http://spec-tanks.com/how-to-make-an-aquarium-temperature-controller/I wish I could afford a apex to control several products and more important to me, warnings, but it will be a while for one.
If all of us loose fish/corals because of a heater, we'd wish we had a controller, even a low cost unit !
If temp goes too high it shuts down the heater and turns on my fans to cool and vice versa. Might be an older article but it’s been working for over a year now!
