# Path Tracer vs Razer PC Remote Play

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Path Tracer at 79% against Razer PC Remote Play's 49%. Path Tracer also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 17.0). Razer PC Remote Play's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 13 months) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Razer PC Remote Play holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Razer PC Remote Play has 209 ratings behind it against 31, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of Path Tracer's written reviews are positive against 49% of Razer PC Remote Play's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Path Tracer ships an update every 13 months, Razer PC Remote Play every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
