# Mobile Mouse Remote vs TV Remote Control

The clearest difference is rating: TV Remote Control at 4.3 against Mobile Mouse Remote's 3.8. TV Remote Control also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (1.3K vs 78). Mobile Mouse Remote's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mobile Mouse Remote sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and TV Remote Control sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

TV Remote Control holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TV Remote Control has 1.3K ratings behind it against 78, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 66% of Mobile Mouse Remote's written reviews are positive against 75% of TV Remote Control's.

Mobile Mouse Remote ships an update every 3 months, TV Remote Control every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
