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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
DoorRemote holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Garadget has 10 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Garadget's written reviews are positive against 0% of DoorRemote's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Garadget ships an update every 2 months, DoorRemote every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on September 17, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
