Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Stick at none against TV Remote +ㅤ's shown. Stick also leads on ratings volume (16K vs 131) and review sentiment (45% vs 29%). TV Remote +ㅤ's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
