Verdict

The call

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.

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.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

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.
