Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: RemoteXY at 3.4 against Arduino BT Controller's 2.0. RemoteXY also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (22 vs 1). Arduino BT Controller's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs every 2 months). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model 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 Arduino BT Controller sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
RemoteXY holds the better App Store score, 3.4 against 2.0. 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 50% of Arduino BT Controller's.
RemoteXY ships an update every 2 months, Arduino BT Controller every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
