# RemoteXY vs Visual Home

The clearest difference is rating: RemoteXY at 3.4 against Visual Home's 1.0. RemoteXY also leads on review sentiment (52% vs 13%) and ratings volume (22 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. RemoteXY sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month and Visual Home sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $1.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

RemoteXY holds the better App Store score, 3.4 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RemoteXY has 22 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 52% of RemoteXY's written reviews are positive against 13% of Visual Home's.

RemoteXY ships an update every 2 months, Visual Home every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
