# Remote vs RaspController

The clearest difference is ads: Remote at none against RaspController's shown. Remote also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.5) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). RaspController's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (57 vs 6). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Remote sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 3 months and RaspController sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 3 months. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Remote holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RaspController has 57 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of Remote's written reviews are positive against 79% of RaspController's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Remote ships an update every 3 months, RaspController every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 8, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
