Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Roku TV Remote Control Mobile at 4.6 against Castify's 4.1. Roku TV Remote Control Mobile also leads on ratings volume (1.8K vs 474). Castify's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs monthly) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
