# Dual Remote vs Split Music Player

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Split Music Player at 100% against Dual Remote's 20%. Split Music Player also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 months). Dual Remote's advantage is rating (2.2 vs 1.0) and ads (none vs shown). 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.

Dual Remote holds the better App Store score, 2.2 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dual Remote has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 20% of Dual Remote's written reviews are positive against 100% of Split Music Player's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Dual Remote ships an update every 5 months, Split Music Player every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
