Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: HopToDesk at 4.7 against Remote Desktop Manager's 3.7. HopToDesk also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Remote Desktop Manager's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (99 vs 6). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

HopToDesk holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Remote Desktop Manager has 99 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of Remote Desktop Manager's written reviews are positive against 50% of HopToDesk's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Remote Desktop Manager ships an update every 3 weeks, HopToDesk every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on September 19, 2026 and July 24, 2026 respectively.
