# Vicoa vs Remote Codetrol

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Remote Codetrol at 100% against Vicoa's 62%. Remote Codetrol also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.3). Vicoa's advantage is ratings volume (27 vs 3) and iOS requirement (15.0.0 vs 18.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Vicoa sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days 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.
