Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: PC Remote at 3.2 against Share2PC's 1.0. PC Remote also leads on ratings volume (301 vs 1). Share2PC's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (50% vs 33%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PC Remote sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Share2PC sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

PC Remote holds the better App Store score, 3.2 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PC Remote has 301 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of PC Remote's written reviews are positive against 50% of Share2PC's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

PC Remote ships an update monthly, Share2PC every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
