Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Starkey T² Remote at 3.8 against Eargo's 2.9. Eargo's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 12 months) and ratings volume (157 vs 4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Starkey T² Remote holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Eargo has 157 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 14% of Starkey T² Remote's written reviews are positive against 27% of Eargo's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Starkey T² Remote ships an update every 12 months, Eargo monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
