# Universal Remote vs 遥控器

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.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Universal Remote holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Universal Remote has 285 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 9% of Universal Remote's written reviews are positive against 0% of 遥控器's.
