Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Netclicker at 5.0 against Unified Remote's 3.8. Netclicker also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). Unified Remote's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (296 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Unified Remote sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Netclicker sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Netclicker holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Unified Remote has 296 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Unified Remote's written reviews are positive against 60% of Netclicker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Unified Remote ships an update fortnightly, Netclicker every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
