Verdict

The call

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.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

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.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

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.
