The call

The clearest difference is rating: VRLink at 5.0 against Remotely Pro's 4.0. VRLink also leads on ratings volume (5 vs 1). Remotely Pro's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and review sentiment (100% vs 71%). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

VRLink holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: VRLink has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Remotely Pro's written reviews are positive against 71% of VRLink's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Remotely Pro ships an update every 10 days, VRLink every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
