Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: VERI Watch at 5.0 against Universal TV Remote Control ＋'s 4.5. VERI Watch also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs monthly). Universal TV Remote Control ＋'s advantage is ratings volume (22 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 26.4.1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
