# Remote Mouse vs PPTControl

The clearest difference is rating: Remote Mouse at 4.6 against PPTControl's 3.8. Remote Mouse also leads on ratings volume (19K vs 23) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). PPTControl's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, 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 PPTControl sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 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 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Remote Mouse has 19K ratings behind it against 23, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of Remote Mouse's written reviews are positive against 71% of PPTControl'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, PPTControl every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 13, 2026 respectively.
