# Remote Mouse vs Remote KeyPad and NumPad

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Remote Mouse at 19K against Remote KeyPad and NumPad's 265. Remote Mouse also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.3) and device support (4 vs 2). Remote KeyPad and NumPad's advantage is review sentiment (82% vs 68%) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Remote Mouse sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month and Remote KeyPad and NumPad sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Remote Mouse holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Remote Mouse has 19K ratings behind it against 265, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of Remote Mouse's written reviews are positive against 82% of Remote KeyPad and NumPad's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Remote Mouse ships an update every 3 weeks, Remote KeyPad and NumPad every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
