# WildRed Remote Control vs Universal remote tv smart

The clearest difference is rating: Universal remote tv smart at 4.2 against WildRed Remote Control's 1.0. Universal remote tv smart also leads on ratings volume (43K vs 1). WildRed Remote Control's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Universal remote tv smart sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. WildRed Remote Control asks for nothing beyond the download.

Universal remote tv smart holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Universal remote tv smart has 43K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 27% of WildRed Remote Control's written reviews are positive against 22% of Universal remote tv smart's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
