# Remote Keypad vs Hyperion Remote

The clearest difference is rating: Remote Keypad at 5.0 against Hyperion Remote's 3.6. Remote Keypad also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 6). Hyperion Remote's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 58 months) and ratings volume (80 vs 1). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hyperion Remote sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 per month. Remote Keypad asks for nothing beyond the download.

Remote Keypad holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hyperion Remote has 80 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Remote Keypad's written reviews are positive against 59% of Hyperion Remote's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Remote Keypad ships an update every 58 months, Hyperion Remote every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on August 12, 2026 and July 22, 2026 respectively.
