Verdict

The clearest difference is ads: Jaguar Remote at none against Lincoln™'s shown. Jaguar Remote also leads on iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0.1). Lincoln™'s advantage is review sentiment (49% vs 27%) and ratings volume (138K vs 8.8K). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
