# Flexible vs TV Remote

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Flexible at none against TV Remote's 3. Flexible also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). TV Remote's advantage is chart position (#199 vs unranked) and device support. On price there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TV Remote sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Flexible asks for nothing beyond the download.
