Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Omniwell at none against Universal TV Remote®'s shown. Omniwell also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 7 months). Universal TV Remote®'s advantage is ratings volume (1.1K vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
