# AdGuard Home Remote vs iGotify

The clearest difference is rating: AdGuard Home Remote at 4.7 against iGotify's 4.4. AdGuard Home Remote also leads on ratings volume (298 vs 14) and update cadence (every 9 days vs monthly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AdGuard Home Remote sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and iGotify sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

AdGuard Home Remote holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AdGuard Home Remote has 298 ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two.
