JetRemote's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 7) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks). On ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Pi is free to download; JetRemote costs $4.99 up front. Pi sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. JetRemote asks for nothing beyond the download.

JetRemote holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pi has 1.2K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Pi ships an update every 2 weeks, JetRemote every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
