Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Fire Remote at 4.5 against Remote Plus's 3.1. Fire Remote also leads on ratings volume (850 vs 22). Remote Plus's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support 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. Fire Remote sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Remote Plus asks for nothing beyond the download.
Fire Remote holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fire Remote has 850 ratings behind it against 22, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 43% of Remote Plus's written reviews are positive against 13% of Fire Remote's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Remote Plus ships an update every 4 days, Fire Remote every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
