# AI Remote：TV Remote Controller vs TV Remote

The clearest difference is rating: TV Remote at 4.7 against AI Remote：TV Remote Controller's 4.3. AI Remote：TV Remote Controller's advantage is review sentiment (24% vs 0%) and ratings volume (2K vs 123). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AI Remote：TV Remote Controller sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days and TV Remote sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

TV Remote holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AI Remote：TV Remote Controller has 2K ratings behind it against 123, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 24% of AI Remote：TV Remote Controller's written reviews are positive against 0% of TV Remote's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
