Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: WmpRemote at 4.9 against KMPlayer's 4.3. WmpRemote also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 13.0). KMPlayer's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (3.3K vs 9). 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.
WmpRemote holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: KMPlayer has 3.3K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 59% of WmpRemote's written reviews are positive against 66% of KMPlayer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
WmpRemote ships an update every 5 months, KMPlayer every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
