# TV Remote Control Plus vs TV Remote

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.

Both are free to download. TV Remote Control Plus sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and TV Remote sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

TV Remote Control Plus holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TV Remote Control Plus has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

TV Remote Control Plus ships an update weekly, TV Remote every 3 days. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
