Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Remote4 at 3.9 against M's 3.0. Remote4 also leads on ratings volume (25 vs 2). M's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 61%) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Remote4 holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Remote4 has 25 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 61% of Remote4's written reviews are positive against 100% of M's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Remote4 ships an update every 3 months, M every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 11, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
