Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Remote4 at none against Actions's 1. Remote4 also leads on review sentiment (61% vs 44%). Actions's advantage is rating (4.2 vs 3.9) and ratings volume (99 vs 25). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Actions sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Remote4 asks for nothing beyond the download.
Actions holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.9. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 25 and 99 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 61% of Remote4's written reviews are positive against 44% of Actions's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
