# ProRemote vs Midi Controller

The clearest difference is rating: Midi Controller at 4.1 against ProRemote's 3.3. Midi Controller also leads on ratings volume (42 vs 7). ProRemote's advantage is review sentiment (54% vs 41%) and iOS requirement (14.1 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ProRemote sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per year and Midi Controller sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Midi Controller holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Midi Controller has 42 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 54% of ProRemote's written reviews are positive against 41% of Midi Controller's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

ProRemote ships an update every 4 months, Midi Controller every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
