Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Universal Remote at 4.4 against 遥控器's 3.7. Universal Remote also leads on ratings volume (285 vs 9) and review sentiment (9% vs 0%). 遥控器's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
