# Hyperion Remote vs HUE Sync

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Hyperion Remote at 59% against HUE Sync's 4%. Hyperion Remote also leads on ads (none vs shown) and device support (5 vs 2). HUE Sync's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 3.6) and ratings volume (524 vs 80). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hyperion Remote sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 per month and HUE Sync sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

HUE Sync holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HUE Sync has 524 ratings behind it against 80, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 59% of Hyperion Remote's written reviews are positive against 4% of HUE Sync's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Hyperion Remote ships an update every 6 weeks, HUE Sync every 5 weeks. Both last shipped on October 16, 2026.
