Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: TV Remote at 100% against TV Remote's 56%. TV Remote also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.1). TV Remote's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (60K vs 173). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. TV Remote sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and TV Remote sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

TV Remote holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TV Remote has 60K ratings behind it against 173, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of TV Remote's written reviews are positive against 100% of TV Remote's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

TV Remote ships an update every 2 days, TV Remote every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
