# Mobile Mouse vs Remote Mouse

The clearest difference is price: Remote Mouse at Free against Mobile Mouse's $9.99. Remote Mouse also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (19K vs 2.5K). Mobile Mouse's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#192 vs unranked). On rating, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Remote Mouse is free to download; Mobile Mouse costs $9.99 up front. Mobile Mouse sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Remote Mouse sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Mobile Mouse against 4.6 for Remote Mouse. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Remote Mouse has 19K ratings behind it against 2.5K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 72% of Mobile Mouse's written reviews are positive against 68% of Remote Mouse's.

Mobile Mouse ships an update every 3 months, Remote Mouse every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
