Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Master Brick Build Custom Toys at 4.4 against Boost Remote's 3.4. Master Brick Build Custom Toys also leads on ratings volume (486 vs 38). Boost Remote's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Master Brick Build Custom Toys sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Boost Remote asks for nothing beyond the download.
Master Brick Build Custom Toys holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Master Brick Build Custom Toys has 486 ratings behind it against 38, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Boost Remote's written reviews are positive against 49% of Master Brick Build Custom Toys's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Boost Remote ships an update monthly, Master Brick Build Custom Toys every 5 weeks. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
