Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: TV Remote at 4.5 against Westinghouse's 2.9. TV Remote also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 17 months) and ratings volume (883 vs 13). Westinghouse's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 7) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
