# Remote KeyPad and NumPad vs Program Changer

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Program Changer at none against Remote KeyPad and NumPad's 4. Program Changer also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.7 vs 4.3). Remote KeyPad and NumPad's advantage is ratings volume (265 vs 3) and review sentiment (82% vs 67%). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Remote KeyPad and NumPad sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Program Changer asks for nothing beyond the download.

Program Changer holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3.

Written reviews complicate that: 82% of Remote KeyPad and NumPad's written reviews are positive against 67% of Program Changer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
