Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Remote Control Sam TV at none against TV Remote's shown. Remote Control Sam TV also leads on iOS requirement (13.1 vs 15.1). TV Remote's advantage is ratings volume (58K vs 522) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
