# Remote Control vs Smart Remote

The clearest difference is ads: Smart Remote at none against Remote Control's shown. Smart Remote also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (100 vs 8). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Remote Control sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Smart Remote sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Smart Remote holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Smart Remote has 100 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two.
