Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: VIDAA at none against TV Remote's 6. VIDAA also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (13K vs 564). TV Remote's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
