# TV Remote Control vs PDF Scanner App

The clearest difference is rating: PDF Scanner App at 5.0 against TV Remote Control's 4.6. TV Remote Control's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (49 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TV Remote Control sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and PDF Scanner App sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PDF Scanner App holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TV Remote Control has 49 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

TV Remote Control ships an update fortnightly, PDF Scanner App every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 6, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
