# Remote Plus vs Remote for FireStick

The clearest difference is rating: Remote for FireStick at 4.4 against Remote Plus's 3.1. Remote for FireStick also leads on ratings volume (2.2K vs 24). Remote Plus's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Remote for FireStick sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Remote Plus asks for nothing beyond the download.

Remote for FireStick holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Remote for FireStick has 2.2K ratings behind it against 24, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 43% of Remote Plus's written reviews are positive against 8% of Remote for FireStick's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
