Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Cloudflare Remote at 4.8 against VYB's 4.0. Cloudflare Remote also leads on ratings volume (86 vs 3) and chart position (#18 vs #192). VYB's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 33%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Cloudflare Remote holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cloudflare Remote has 86 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Cloudflare Remote's written reviews are positive against 50% of VYB's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Cloudflare Remote ships an update every 4 weeks, VYB every 5 weeks. Both last shipped on October 6, 2026.
