Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: EGO Connect at none against Monster Remote's 1. EGO Connect also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (7.6K vs 19). Monster Remote's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 67%) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 5 weeks). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Monster Remote sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. EGO Connect asks for nothing beyond the download.
EGO Connect holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: EGO Connect has 7.6K ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of EGO Connect's written reviews are positive against 100% of Monster Remote's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
EGO Connect ships an update every 5 weeks, Monster Remote every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
