Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Eos Remote at fortnightly against Decibel dB's every 4 months. Decibel dB's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and review sentiment (77% vs 56%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Eos Remote sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Decibel dB sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Decibel dB holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Decibel dB has 684 ratings behind it against 50, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 56% of Eos Remote's written reviews are positive against 77% of Decibel dB's.
Eos Remote ships an update fortnightly, Decibel dB every 4 months. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
