Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: IR Remote at 100% against Fansio's 17%. Fansio's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 3.0) and ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Fansio holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fansio has 96 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 17% of Fansio's written reviews are positive against 100% of IR Remote's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
