Cadence

Cadence is the honest smart-TV remote for your iPhone. It controls TVs on your Wi-Fi with a dark, tactile interface and no dark patterns ā no ads, no $10-a-week traps, and no fake infrared claims. HONEST FROM THE START Cadence controls smart TVs over your local Wi-Fi network. It is NOT an infrared (IR) remote for older TVs ā iPhones have no IR blaster, so no app can replace one. We tell you this up front, before you pay. WHAT IT CONTROLS - Roku (fully supported and verified): D-pad, OK, Back, Home, volume, mute, power, and media transport. - Samsung, LG, Sony, Google TV, and Fire TV are supported in Beta and clearly marked as such in the app, with graceful, honest failure ā never a silent hang or a faked success. - Cadence finds your TV on the network automatically, connects, and turns your phone into a full remote. BUILT FOR THE COUCH - Big, thumb-friendly D-pad and OK button in the bottom half of the screen. - Haptic and visual feedback the instant you touch a key, so it feels responsive even over Wi-Fi. - A calm dark theme, full accessibility, and Dynamic Type support. - Dropped connections quietly reconnect ā no error modals. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No sign-up. Cadence talks only to your TV on your home network ā nothing about your TV leaves your Wi-Fi. We use only anonymous, aggregate analytics and never sell your data. FREE, AND GENUINELY USABLE The free tier controls one saved TV with all the core keys ā it is not a teaser. Cadence Plus adds multiple saved TVs with quick-switch, one-tap app shortcuts, and custom layouts. CADENCE PLUS - Weekly with a 3-day free trial - Annual (best value) - Or a one-time Lifetime purchase ā no subscription Payment is charged to your Apple account. Subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends; manage or cancel anytime in your App Store settings. The price is always shown before you buy.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TV Remote at none against Cadence's 3. TV Remote also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
