Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Universal TV Remote™ Control at 4.7 against TV Remote ONN's 3.6. Universal TV Remote™ Control also leads on ratings volume (33K vs 537) and chart position (#73 vs unranked). TV Remote ONN's advantage is review sentiment (77% vs 49%) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, ads, 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. Universal TV Remote™ Control sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and TV Remote ONN sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Universal TV Remote™ Control holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Universal TV Remote™ Control has 33K ratings behind it against 537, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 49% of Universal TV Remote™ Control's written reviews are positive against 77% of TV Remote ONN's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Universal TV Remote™ Control ships an update every 2 weeks, TV Remote ONN every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
