Ocrustar holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ocrustar has 366 ratings behind it against 32, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of EzRemote Lite's written reviews are positive against 38% of Ocrustar's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
EzRemote Lite ships an update every 4 months, Ocrustar every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on June 1, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
