# Universal TV™ Remote Control vs Remote TV

The clearest difference is rating: Universal TV™ Remote Control at 5.0 against Remote TV's 4.4. Remote TV's advantage is ratings volume (38 vs 3) and update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Universal TV™ Remote Control sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Remote TV sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Universal TV™ Remote Control holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Remote TV has 38 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Universal TV™ Remote Control ships an update weekly, Remote TV every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
