The DJI Spark is a terrific little drone, notable for packing lots of advanced features into a compact frame. Among those features: gesture-controlled operation, which would seem to obviate the need for a remote.

But I strongly recommend getting one, in part because it makes the Spark easier to control and in part because it extends the range. Normally it's a $119 extra (unless you buy the Fly More bundle, in which case it adds $149), but for a limited time, you can get a free remote when you buy the DJI Spark for $399. (That price also includes a free 16GB microSD card.)
