Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Android TV Remote Control at 89% against Stick's 45%. Android TV Remote Control also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks) and device support (3 vs 1). Stick's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (16K vs 71). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Stick sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days and Android TV Remote Control sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Stick holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Stick has 16K ratings behind it against 71, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 45% of Stick's written reviews are positive against 89% of Android TV Remote Control's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Stick ships an update every 3 weeks, Android TV Remote Control weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
