# Console Remote vs Asobi

The clearest difference is price: Asobi at Free against Console Remote's $7.99. Asobi also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (170 vs 12). Console Remote's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly). On review sentiment, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Asobi is free to download; Console Remote costs $7.99 up front. Asobi sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Console Remote asks for nothing beyond the download.

Asobi holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Asobi has 170 ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Console Remote's written reviews are positive against 61% of Asobi's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Console Remote ships an update every 3 days, Asobi weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
