# TV Remote vs TV Remote

The clearest difference is ads: TV Remote at none against TV Remote's shown. TV Remote also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). TV Remote's advantage is ratings volume (6 vs 1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TV Remote sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and TV Remote sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

TV Remote holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TV Remote has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

TV Remote ships an update every 2 weeks, TV Remote weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
