Good Remote

Good Remote turns your iPhone into a fast, clean remote for your smart TV. No ads, no accounts, no tracking. Open the app and your TV is one tap away: the launch screen shows every TV in your house with live power status. Tap a TV that's off and the app wakes it over your network and connects automatically. FEATURES โข Full remote: D-pad with OK, back/home/exit, volume and channel rockers, mute, playback controls, info, captions, and a number pad โข Real power on: wakes the TV over your network from standby or deep sleep, not just power off โข Input switcher and app launcher, loaded live from your TV โข Multiple TVs, with automatic discovery on your Wi-Fi or added by IP address โข Private by design: the app talks only to your TV on your local network COMPATIBILITY Good Remote works with network-connected smart TVs that support remote pairing over Wi-Fi (most models from 2014 onward). The first time the app connects, a pairing prompt appears on the TV screen โ accept it once and you're set. If your TV shows that prompt, it's supported. For power-on to work while the TV is off, enable your TV's setting that keeps its network active in standby (often called "quick start" or "turn on via Wi-Fi").

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Good Remote at none against VPN's shown. VPN's advantage is iOS requirement (14.0 vs 18.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
