Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Smart Remote Control at none against TV Remote's shown. Smart Remote Control also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). TV Remote's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 6 weeks) and ratings volume (8 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Smart Remote Control sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and TV Remote sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Smart Remote Control holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TV Remote has 8 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Smart Remote Control ships an update every 6 weeks, TV Remote weekly. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
