TeamViewer Remote Control is free to download; Remoter VNC costs $0.99 up front. Remoter VNC sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and TeamViewer Remote Control sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $619.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
TeamViewer Remote Control holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TeamViewer Remote Control has 45K ratings behind it against 888, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of Remoter VNC's written reviews are positive against 46% of TeamViewer Remote Control's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Remoter VNC ships an update monthly, TeamViewer Remote Control every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
