The last remote you'll ever download. Beam controls Roku, Google TV, Samsung, LG, Vizio, and Fire TV — every TV in your home from one beautiful app. No account. No cloud. Your taps go straight from your phone to your TV. CONTROL EVERYTHING • Full remote: touchpad with gestures, D-pad, volume, playback • Turn TVs on and off right from your phone or Lock Screen • Launch Netflix, YouTube, Disney+ and more with one tap • Type searches with your phone's keyboard instead of hunting letters with arrow keys FEELS LIKE HOME • A control center that greets you: your TV's status, every room, and who's watching • Connection Doctor fixes Wi-Fi hiccups in one tap • Fix a dead remote in the time it takes to find the real one GO PREMIUM • 15+ animated themes, from Starry Night to Synthwave • Every TV in your home, switchable in one tap • Dynamic Island & Lock Screen controls • Smart sleep timers from 5 minutes to 4 hours • Weekly TV insights — computed on your phone, seen only by you • Free trial available; monthly, yearly, or pay-once lifetime PRIVATE BY DESIGN Beam collects nothing. No sign-up, no tracking, no servers — your remote and your habits stay on your phone. GOOD TO KNOW Your phone and TV must be on the same Wi-Fi network. Some TV apps (like YouTube and Prime Video) use their own on-screen keyboards and don't accept typed text from any remote app. Waking a TV from full power-off may require a one-time setting on the TV — Beam walks you through it.

Verdict
The clearest difference is iOS requirement: QR Code at 15.6 against Beam's 17.0. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
