Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Onkyo Controller at 2.2 against PocketV's 1.0. Onkyo Controller also leads on review sentiment (26% vs 0%) and ratings volume (620 vs 1). PocketV's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
