Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: TapDeck at 100% against Remote Control For Xbox's 25%. TapDeck also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). Remote Control For Xbox's advantage is rating (4.1 vs 3.3) and ratings volume (326 vs 3). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Remote Control For Xbox sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and TapDeck sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Remote Control For Xbox holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Remote Control For Xbox has 326 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of Remote Control For Xbox's written reviews are positive against 100% of TapDeck's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Remote Control For Xbox ships an update fortnightly, TapDeck every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 11, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
