# Allscripts Remote+ vs PowerMic Mobile

The clearest difference is monetization model: Allscripts Remote+ at free against PowerMic Mobile's subscription. Allscripts Remote+ also leads on rating (3.0 vs 2.6) and iOS requirement (7.1 vs 15.0). PowerMic Mobile's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 8 months) and ratings volume (180 vs 6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Allscripts Remote+ holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PowerMic Mobile has 180 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 9% of Allscripts Remote+'s written reviews are positive against 19% of PowerMic Mobile's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Allscripts Remote+ ships an update every 8 months, PowerMic Mobile every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on June 5, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
