# Remote Desktop Manager vs CIDR

The clearest difference is rating: CIDR at 5.0 against Remote Desktop Manager's 3.7. Remote Desktop Manager's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (99 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CIDR sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Remote Desktop Manager asks for nothing beyond the download.

CIDR holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Remote Desktop Manager has 99 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 19, 2026 and June 30, 2026 respectively.
