# Hyperion Remote vs UniLED

The clearest difference is rating: Hyperion Remote at 3.6 against UniLED's 2.5. Hyperion Remote also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ratings volume (80 vs 8). UniLED's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 6 weeks). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hyperion Remote sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 per month and UniLED sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Hyperion Remote holds the better App Store score, 3.6 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hyperion Remote has 80 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Hyperion Remote ships an update every 6 weeks, UniLED every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on July 22, 2026 and August 21, 2026 respectively.
