# Unified Remote vs PPTControl

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Unified Remote at 293 against PPTControl's 24. Unified Remote also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). PPTControl's advantage is device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Unified Remote sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and PPTControl sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 3.8 for Unified Remote against 3.9 for PPTControl. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Unified Remote has 293 ratings behind it against 24, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 68% of Unified Remote's written reviews are positive against 72% of PPTControl's.

Unified Remote ships an update monthly, PPTControl every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
