The clearest difference is review sentiment: FireRemote at 87% against Remote for Fire devices's 30%. Remote for Fire devices's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.4 vs 4.1). On price, 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 for Fire devices sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and FireRemote sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Remote for Fire devices holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Remote for Fire devices has 5.6K ratings behind it against 372, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 30% of Remote for Fire devices's written reviews are positive against 87% of FireRemote's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Remote for Fire devices ships an update every 2 weeks, FireRemote every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
