Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Remote Desktop at 3.3 against TTerm's 1.0. Remote Desktop also leads on price ($5.99 vs $9.99) and ratings volume (22 vs 1). TTerm's advantage is review sentiment (67% vs 49%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). On update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Remote Desktop holds the better App Store score, 3.3 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Remote Desktop has 22 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 49% of Remote Desktop's written reviews are positive against 67% of TTerm's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and June 6, 2026 respectively.
