Data from the official BroadLink and Moes sites.
2026 verdict
Nearly identical specs come down to one line item: the Moes RF IR Universal Remote Controller wins this matchup on price, matching the BroadLink RM4 Pro feature for feature, IR and RF control, 2.4GHz WiFi only, the same three-platform integration list (Alexa, Google Home, Home Assistant), and no Apple HomeKit on either side. The BroadLink RM4 Pro answers with a higher owner rating, the product of more time on the market and a larger base of reviews to draw on, something the newer Moes model has not built up yet. Both are universal remotes with smart learning, both can blast IR and RF signals, and both ship in a similarly boxy housing. If price is the deciding factor and you are comfortable with a less proven brand for RF, the Moes RF IR Universal Remote Controller is the cheaper way to get the same capability. If a stronger, more established owner track record matters more, the BroadLink RM4 Pro is worth the extra cost.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which is better overall: the BroadLink RM4 Pro or the Moes RF IR Universal Remote Controller?
It's close. The Moes RF IR Universal Remote Controller wins on price, while the BroadLink RM4 Pro wins on owner rating. Every other spec, IR and RF support, WiFi connectivity, and integrations, is essentially tied between them.
What is the biggest difference between the two?
There isn't a structural one. Both control IR and RF devices, connect over 2.4GHz WiFi only, and integrate with Alexa, Google Home and Home Assistant. The real differences are price (lower on the Moes RF IR Universal Remote Controller) and rating (higher on the BroadLink RM4 Pro).
Do both support RF devices?
Yes. Both the BroadLink RM4 Pro and the Moes RF IR Universal Remote Controller can learn and send RF (radio frequency) signals in addition to infrared, so either can control compatible RF gear like some fans, blinds or outlets.
Does either work with Apple HomeKit?
No, neither the BroadLink RM4 Pro nor the Moes RF IR Universal Remote Controller supports Apple HomeKit natively. Both work with Alexa, Google Home and Home Assistant.
Who should buy the BroadLink RM4 Pro?
Buyers who want the more established brand with a longer, larger base of owner reviews behind its rating, and don't mind paying a bit more for that track record.
Who should buy the Moes RF IR Universal Remote Controller?
Buyers who want the same IR and RF capability for less money and are comfortable with a newer product that has fewer reviews behind it.
