Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: n at 4.4 against FL Studio Remote's 3.3. n also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (2.1K vs 26). FL Studio Remote's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 15) and ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
