Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Remote Keyboard at Free against FastFinga 3's $9.99. Remote Keyboard also leads on review sentiment (79% vs 57%) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). FastFinga 3's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On rating, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Remote Keyboard is free to download; FastFinga 3 costs $9.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
FastFinga 3 holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Remote Keyboard has 89 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of FastFinga 3's written reviews are positive against 79% of Remote Keyboard's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
FastFinga 3 ships an update every 6 weeks, Remote Keyboard fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
