# ZerOS Remote vs StageLight

The clearest difference is rating: ZerOS Remote at 5.0 against StageLight's 3.8. ZerOS Remote also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10) and device support (4 vs 1). StageLight's advantage is review sentiment (84% vs 50%) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 10 months). On price and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. StageLight sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. ZerOS Remote asks for nothing beyond the download.

ZerOS Remote holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: StageLight has 8 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of ZerOS Remote's written reviews are positive against 84% of StageLight's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

ZerOS Remote ships an update every 10 months, StageLight every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 9, 2026.
