# TV Remote +ㅤ vs TV Remote

TV Remote +ㅤ and TV Remote both sit at 4.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 55% of TV Remote's written reviews are positive against 29% of TV Remote +ㅤ's. TV Remote also leads on ratings volume (58K vs 128) and chart position (#160 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TV Remote +ㅤ sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and TV Remote sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
