Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Vectorworks Remote at 5.0 against iGobo's 1.5. iGobo's advantage is review sentiment (25% vs 0%) and ratings volume (12 vs 2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Vectorworks Remote holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 1.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iGobo has 12 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of iGobo's written reviews are positive against 0% of Vectorworks Remote's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
