Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: His at 4.5 against TV Remote Universal's 3.4. His also leads on review sentiment (50% vs 14%) and ads (none vs shown). TV Remote Universal's advantage is ratings volume (12K vs 76). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
