Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: TV Remote Control Plus at none against TV Remote's shown. TV Remote Control Plus also leads on rating (4.3 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (6 vs 1). TV Remote's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
