# A&E vs VivoRemote

The clearest difference is rating: A&E at 3.9 against VivoRemote's 1.0. A&E also leads on review sentiment (25% vs 0%) and ratings volume (7.9K vs 2). VivoRemote's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, 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.

A&E holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: A&E has 7.9K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 25% of A&E's written reviews are positive against 0% of VivoRemote's.

A&E ships an update monthly, VivoRemote every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
