# iTV Remote vs IR Remote

The clearest difference is review sentiment: IR Remote at 100% against iTV Remote's 26%. IR Remote also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 8). iTV Remote's advantage is rating (4.1 vs 3.0) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iTV Remote sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. IR Remote asks for nothing beyond the download.

iTV Remote holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iTV Remote has 31 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 26% of iTV Remote's written reviews are positive against 100% of IR Remote's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
