# M vs AC Remote

The clearest difference is rating: AC Remote at 4.5 against M's 2.7. AC Remote also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (120 vs 6). M's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AC Remote sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. M asks for nothing beyond the download.

AC Remote holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AC Remote has 120 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 0% and 0% positive.

M ships an update every 2 months, AC Remote every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
