ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

AdGuard Home Remote holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AdGuard Home Remote has 301 ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Pi Stats Mobile's written reviews are positive against 79% of AdGuard Home Remote's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Pi Stats Mobile ships an update every 3 weeks, AdGuard Home Remote every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
