# Remote Mouse vs AirDroid Cast

The clearest difference is ads: AirDroid Cast at none against Remote Mouse's shown. AirDroid Cast also leads on review sentiment (86% vs 68%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Remote Mouse's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (19K vs 2.3K). On price, rating, 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 AirDroid Cast sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Remote Mouse against 4.6 for AirDroid Cast. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Remote Mouse has 19K ratings behind it against 2.3K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 68% of Remote Mouse's written reviews are positive against 86% of AirDroid Cast's.

Remote Mouse ships an update every 3 weeks, AirDroid Cast every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
