Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TTL at none against Universal Remote's 4. TTL also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.6). Universal Remote's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 12 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
