Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Remote Trackpad at 3.7 against Emulstick's 2.5. Remote Trackpad also leads on ratings volume (38 vs 2) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 3 months). Emulstick's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Remote Trackpad sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Emulstick asks for nothing beyond the download.
Remote Trackpad holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Remote Trackpad has 38 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 17% of Remote Trackpad's written reviews are positive against 25% of Emulstick's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Remote Trackpad ships an update every 2 months, Emulstick every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and August 5, 2026 respectively.
