# ST vs 705 Remote

The clearest difference is rating: ST at 5.0 against 705 Remote's 3.5. 705 Remote's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 27 months) and review sentiment (64% vs 50%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

ST holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 705 Remote has 21 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of ST's written reviews are positive against 64% of 705 Remote's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

ST ships an update every 27 months, 705 Remote weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
