# Media Remote vs AJCloud

The clearest difference is rating: AJCloud at 4.6 against Media Remote's 3.7. AJCloud also leads on review sentiment (28% vs 0%) and ratings volume (7.1K vs 3). Media Remote's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
