# TV Remote +ㅤ vs TV Remote

The clearest difference is monetization model: TV Remote +ㅤ at free with in-app purchases against TV Remote's subscription. TV Remote +ㅤ also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 4 weeks). TV Remote's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 128). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases 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 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
