Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: NetPulse at Free against Remote Wake Up Mobile's $9.99. NetPulse also leads on rating (4.4 vs 3.5) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 months). Remote Wake Up Mobile's advantage is review sentiment (71% vs 33%) and in-app purchases (none vs 3). On ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

NetPulse holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NetPulse has 13 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Remote Wake Up Mobile's written reviews are positive against 33% of NetPulse's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Remote Wake Up Mobile ships an update every 3 months, NetPulse every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
