Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: TV Remote Control at none against TV Remote's shown. TV Remote Control also leads on review sentiment (50% vs 20%) and update cadence (every 11 days vs monthly). TV Remote's advantage is ratings volume (605K vs 49) and chart position (#6 vs unranked). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
