# Subtransit Drive vs IF Remote

The clearest difference is rating: Subtransit Drive at 4.4 against IF Remote's 3.9. Subtransit Drive also leads on ratings volume (406 vs 7) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). IF Remote's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs monthly). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Subtransit Drive sells 15 one-off in-app purchases and IF Remote sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Subtransit Drive holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Subtransit Drive has 406 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of Subtransit Drive's written reviews are positive against 75% of IF Remote's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Subtransit Drive ships an update monthly, IF Remote every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and June 4, 2026 respectively.
