Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Roku TV Remote Control Mobile at 4.6 against Castify's 4.1. Roku TV Remote Control Mobile also leads on ratings volume (1.8K vs 474). Castify's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs monthly) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Castify sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days and Roku TV Remote Control Mobile sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Roku TV Remote Control Mobile holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 474 and 1.8K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 52% of Castify's written reviews are positive against 44% of Roku TV Remote Control Mobile's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Castify ships an update weekly, Roku TV Remote Control Mobile monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
