Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Android TV Remote Control at 89% against Mi Remote's 33%. Android TV Remote Control also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). Mi Remote's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.1) and ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Mi Remote sells 9 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.
Mi Remote holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mi Remote has 416 ratings behind it against 73, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Mi Remote'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.
Mi Remote ships an update every 3 weeks, Android TV Remote Control weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
