Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: TV Remote at 93% against RemoteMaster's 14%. TV Remote also leads on rating (4.7 vs 2.6) and ratings volume (15K vs 79). RemoteMaster's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
