# DisplayFusion Remote vs Pi

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Pi at 88% against DisplayFusion Remote's 39%. Pi also leads on rating (4.8 vs 2.3) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 months). DisplayFusion Remote's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 7) and iOS requirement (5.1.1 vs 17.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pi sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. DisplayFusion Remote asks for nothing beyond the download.

Pi holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pi has 1.3K ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 39% of DisplayFusion Remote's written reviews are positive against 88% of Pi's.
