# Easy Remote vs Smart Remote

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Smart Remote at 100% against Easy Remote's 0%. Smart Remote also leads on ratings volume (100 vs 17). Easy Remote's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Easy Remote sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and Smart Remote sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Easy Remote holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Smart Remote has 100 ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Easy Remote's written reviews are positive against 100% of Smart Remote's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Easy Remote ships an update every 10 days, Smart Remote every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
