# MobiSquirt vs MX5 Tech Remote

MobiSquirt and MX5 Tech Remote both sit at 3.0 stars, but that hides the real split: 67% of MobiSquirt's written reviews are positive against 37% of MX5 Tech Remote's. MX5 Tech Remote's advantage is update cadence (every 12 months vs every 41 months) and ratings volume (21 vs 4). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

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

MX5 Tech Remote holds the better App Store score, 3.2 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MX5 Tech Remote has 21 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of MobiSquirt's written reviews are positive against 37% of MX5 Tech Remote's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

MobiSquirt ships an update every 41 months, MX5 Tech Remote every 12 months. The most recent releases landed on July 20, 2026 and July 5, 2026 respectively.
