# Universal TV Remote Control vs Remote TV Control・Universal

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Universal TV Remote Control at 65% against Remote TV Control・Universal's 9%. Universal TV Remote Control also leads on ratings volume (4.1K vs 216) and device support (3 vs 1). Remote TV Control・Universal's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 3.6) and ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Universal TV Remote Control sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days and Remote TV Control・Universal sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Remote TV Control・Universal holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Universal TV Remote Control has 4.1K ratings behind it against 216, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Universal TV Remote Control's written reviews are positive against 9% of Remote TV Control・Universal's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
