Both are free to download. Easy Remote sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and TV Remote sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Easy Remote holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 17 and 27 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Easy Remote's written reviews are positive against 100% of TV Remote's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency
