Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: eStaff at none against Universal Remote's 7. eStaff also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 12.0). Universal Remote's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 22 months) and ratings volume (13K vs 1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
