# ZerOS Remote vs Show StopWatch

The clearest difference is price: ZerOS Remote at Free against Show StopWatch's $3.99. ZerOS Remote also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 5) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Show StopWatch's advantage is review sentiment (88% vs 50%) and update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 10 months). On ads there is nothing between them.

ZerOS Remote is free to download; Show StopWatch costs $3.99 up front. Show StopWatch sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per year. ZerOS Remote asks for nothing beyond the download.

ZerOS Remote holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Show StopWatch has 48 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 88% of Show StopWatch'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, Show StopWatch every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
