# TélécBox vs Mi Remote

The clearest difference is ads: Mi Remote at none against TélécBox's shown. Mi Remote also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 months) and rating (4.5 vs 4.1). TélécBox's advantage is review sentiment (64% vs 33%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TélécBox sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Mi Remote sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Mi Remote holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 119 and 444 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of TélécBox's written reviews are positive against 33% of Mi Remote's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

TélécBox ships an update every 6 months, Mi Remote every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
