Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: MediaZilla at 4.0 against Instamic Remote's 3.0. MediaZilla also leads on update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (20 vs 1). Instamic Remote's advantage is review sentiment (46% vs 36%) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.4). 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.
MediaZilla holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MediaZilla has 20 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of Instamic Remote's written reviews are positive against 36% of MediaZilla's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Instamic Remote ships an update every 5 months, MediaZilla every 4 weeks. Both last shipped on November 2, 2026.
