Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Starkey T² Remote at 4.7 against GENIUScontrol's 3.0. GENIUScontrol's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 12 months) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

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, 4.7 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GENIUScontrol has 1.1K ratings behind it against 3, 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 26% of GENIUScontrol'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, GENIUScontrol every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and September 13, 2026 respectively.
