Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Remote Mouse Pro at 4.7 against VGamepad's 3.1. Remote Mouse Pro also leads on ratings volume (4.7K vs 8) and chart position (#28 vs unranked). VGamepad's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Remote Mouse Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Remote Mouse Pro has 4.7K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Remote Mouse Pro's written reviews are positive against 75% of VGamepad's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Remote Mouse Pro ships an update every 3 weeks, VGamepad fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 7, 2026 respectively.
