RemoteXY is a platform for creating and using graphical user interfaces (GUIs) for microcontroller devices. If you want to connect to a device, install the app and follow the instructions from the device developer. If you are a developer, use the RemoteXY platform to its full potential. Create custom user graphical interface (GUI) using the editor located at https://remotexy.com The editor will automatically create a source code template for the Arduino IDE. The source code contains support for the selected communication method for the selected controller and includes a fully functional graphical interface. Integrate your task with the graphical interface, it's very easy following the detailed documentation and examples. Upload the source code to the board. Then use this application to connect to your board and control it using your graphical interface. Develop graphical control interfaces for various devices, both for yourself and for your clients. Supported connection methods: - Internet anywhere over Cloud Server; - WiFi client and access point; - Bluetooth; - Ethernet by IP or URL; - USB OTG; Supported boards: - Arduino UNO, MEGA, Leonardo, Pro Mini, Nano, MICRO and compatible AVR boards; - ESP8266 boards ; - ESP32 boards; - STM32F1 boards; - nRF51822 boards.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Actions at 4.2 against RemoteXY's 3.3. Actions also leads on ratings volume (99 vs 23) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 12.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. RemoteXY sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month and Actions sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Actions holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 23 and 99 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 52% of RemoteXY's written reviews are positive against 44% of Actions's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
