# Remote for Samsung vs TV Remote

The clearest difference is rating: TV Remote at 4.1 against Remote for Samsung's 3.0. TV Remote also leads on ratings volume (21 vs 2). Remote for Samsung's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.0).

Both are free to download. Remote for Samsung sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per month and TV Remote sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
