Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: DIGIPAD at 3.0 against Soundcraft ViSi Remote's 2.2. DIGIPAD also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 6 months) and device support (3 vs 1). Soundcraft ViSi Remote's advantage is ratings volume (87 vs 1) and review sentiment (23% vs 0%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

DIGIPAD holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 2.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Soundcraft ViSi Remote has 87 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 23% of Soundcraft ViSi Remote's written reviews are positive against 0% of DIGIPAD's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Soundcraft ViSi Remote ships an update every 6 months, DIGIPAD every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
