Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: iCool Remote at 2.9 against SG Lighting's 2.0. SG Lighting's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks) and ratings volume (65 vs 8). On price, ads, 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
iCool Remote holds the better App Store score, 2.9 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SG Lighting has 65 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 9% of SG Lighting's written reviews are positive against 0% of iCool Remote's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
SG Lighting ships an update every 3 days, iCool Remote every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on June 11, 2026 and September 16, 2026 respectively.
