Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Libro at none against Remote Gamepad's 1. Libro also leads on ads (none vs shown). Remote Gamepad's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 22 months) and iOS requirement (14.1 vs 18.6). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
