Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Remote Mouse at 4.6 against Remox's 3.7. Remote Mouse also leads on ratings volume (19K vs 3). Remox's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Remote Mouse holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Remote Mouse has 19K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of Remote Mouse's written reviews are positive against 80% of Remox's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
