# Themely vs Remote Plus

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Themely at 74% against Remote Plus's 25%. Themely also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (641 vs 2). Remote Plus's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Themely sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days and Remote Plus sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $19.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Remote Plus holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Themely has 641 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of Themely's written reviews are positive against 25% of Remote Plus's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Themely ships an update every 3 days, Remote Plus every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
