Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Clicker at none against TV Remote's shown. TV Remote's advantage is iOS requirement (17.6 vs 26.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TV Remote sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Clicker sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
