The clearest difference is rating: SmartRemote at 1.7 against KVD's 1.0. SmartRemote also leads on ratings volume (6 vs 1) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 14). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
SmartRemote holds the better App Store score, 1.7 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SmartRemote has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 0% and 0% positive.
