Verdict

The call

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.
