Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Sure at 3.7 against Bosch Remote Security Control's 2.0. Sure also leads on update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 3 months). Bosch Remote Security Control's advantage is review sentiment (24% vs 0%) and ratings volume (38 vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Sure holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bosch Remote Security Control has 38 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 24% of Bosch Remote Security Control's written reviews are positive against 0% of Sure's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Bosch Remote Security Control ships an update every 3 months, Sure every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on September 21, 2026.
