Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: SOS On at 5.0 against GoToMyPC's 4.2. SOS On also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). GoToMyPC's advantage is ratings volume (323 vs 1) and review sentiment (64% vs 50%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

SOS On holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GoToMyPC has 323 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of GoToMyPC's written reviews are positive against 50% of SOS On's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

GoToMyPC ships an update every 5 months, SOS On every 8 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
