# TV Remote vs iSpeedScan

The clearest difference is review sentiment: iSpeedScan at 100% against TV Remote's 39%. iSpeedScan also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5). TV Remote's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 4 weeks) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 17). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TV Remote sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days and iSpeedScan sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

iSpeedScan holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TV Remote has 1.1K ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 39% of TV Remote's written reviews are positive against 100% of iSpeedScan's.

TV Remote ships an update every 4 days, iSpeedScan every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
