# RemoteMaster vs Universal Remote－TV Control

The clearest difference is rating: Universal Remote－TV Control at 3.3 against RemoteMaster's 2.6. RemoteMaster's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and review sentiment (14% vs 0%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Universal Remote－TV Control sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days. RemoteMaster asks for nothing beyond the download.

Universal Remote－TV Control holds the better App Store score, 3.3 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RemoteMaster has 79 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 14% of RemoteMaster's written reviews are positive against 0% of Universal Remote－TV Control's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
