# GLife vs TV Remote

The clearest difference is rating: TV Remote at 4.5 against GLife's 1.4. TV Remote also leads on ratings volume (618 vs 7) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 weeks). GLife's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 8) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TV Remote sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. GLife asks for nothing beyond the download.

TV Remote holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 1.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TV Remote has 618 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 33% of GLife's written reviews are positive against 38% of TV Remote's.

GLife ships an update every 6 weeks, TV Remote every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
