Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Face Scan at 2.8 against UE Remote's 1.0. Face Scan also leads on update cadence (every 3 months vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (13 vs 2). UE Remote's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and review sentiment (31% vs 22%). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Face Scan sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. UE Remote asks for nothing beyond the download.
Face Scan holds the better App Store score, 2.8 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Face Scan has 13 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 31% of UE Remote's written reviews are positive against 22% of Face Scan's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
UE Remote ships an update every 6 months, Face Scan every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
