Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Universal TV Remote Control at 65% against Smart TV Remote WiFi IP & Code's 16%. Universal TV Remote Control also leads on ratings volume (4.1K vs 8) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). Smart TV Remote WiFi IP & Code's advantage is rating (4.0 vs 3.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Smart TV Remote WiFi IP & Code sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Universal TV Remote Control sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Smart TV Remote WiFi IP & Code holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Universal TV Remote Control has 4.1K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 16% of Smart TV Remote WiFi IP & Code's written reviews are positive against 65% of Universal TV Remote Control's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Smart TV Remote WiFi IP & Code ships an update every 2 months, Universal TV Remote Control every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 29, 2026.
