Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Starkey T² Remote at 3.8 against ReSound Smart's 2.9. ReSound Smart's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 12 months) and ratings volume (229 vs 4). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Starkey T² Remote holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ReSound Smart has 229 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 18% of ReSound Smart's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Starkey T² Remote ships an update every 12 months, ReSound Smart every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
