# Happy vs Remote Codetrol

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Remote Codetrol at 100% against Happy's 72%. Happy's advantage is ratings volume (1K vs 3) and rating (4.9 vs 4.7). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Happy sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $19.99 per month and Remote Codetrol sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Happy holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Happy has 1K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of Happy's written reviews are positive against 100% of Remote Codetrol's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Happy ships an update weekly, Remote Codetrol every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
