Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: TV Remote at 4.6 against EzRemote Lite's 3.4. TV Remote also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (58K vs 32). EzRemote Lite's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
