Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Stick at none against Remote control for Sky's shown. Stick also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.1) and ratings volume (16K vs 32). Remote control for Sky's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, 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. Remote control for Sky sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Stick sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Stick holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Stick has 16K ratings behind it against 32, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Remote control for Sky's written reviews are positive against 45% of Stick's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Remote control for Sky ships an update every 4 days, Stick every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
