Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Screenflick Remote at none against LayerCam's 3. Screenflick Remote also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.3 vs 18). LayerCam's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 7 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
