# Off Remote vs Black Lite

The clearest difference is rating: Black Lite at 4.6 against Off Remote's 3.8. Black Lite also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ratings volume (4.4K vs 56). Off Remote's advantage is device support (4 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.5). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Off Remote sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Black Lite sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Black Lite holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Black Lite has 4.4K ratings behind it against 56, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 56% of Off Remote's written reviews are positive against 67% of Black Lite's.

Off Remote ships an update every 2 weeks, Black Lite every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
