Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: TV Remote for Smart TVs at free with in-app purchases against TV Remote's subscription. TV Remote's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 113). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TV Remote for Smart TVs sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and TV Remote sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
