# AppStash vs TV Remote

The clearest difference is review sentiment: TV Remote at 100% against AppStash's 40%. TV Remote also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.3) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 12 months). AppStash's advantage is ratings volume (7 vs 1) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AppStash sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and TV Remote sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

TV Remote holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AppStash has 7 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 40% of AppStash's written reviews are positive against 100% of TV Remote's.

AppStash ships an update every 12 months, TV Remote every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 3, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
