Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Click Cast at 100% against TV Remote's 20%. Click Cast also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.3) and device support (4 vs 2). TV Remote's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (177 vs 1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model 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. Click Cast sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.29 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.
Click Cast holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TV Remote has 177 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of Click Cast's written reviews are positive against 20% of TV Remote's.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
