Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Denon AVR Remote at Free against Signal Path's $8.99. Denon AVR Remote also leads on ratings volume (1.5K vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.6). Signal Path's advantage is rating (3.0 vs 2.0). On review sentiment, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Denon AVR Remote is free to download; Signal Path costs $8.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Signal Path holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Denon AVR Remote has 1.5K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 21% of Denon AVR Remote's written reviews are positive against 17% of Signal Path's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
