Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: FireRemote at 87% against TV Remote's 21%. TV Remote's advantage is ratings volume (629K vs 389) and rating (4.4 vs 4.1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases 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. TV Remote sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and FireRemote sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
TV Remote holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TV Remote has 629K ratings behind it against 389, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 21% of TV Remote's written reviews are positive against 87% of FireRemote's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
TV Remote ships an update monthly, FireRemote every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
