Verdict
The clearest difference is price: FlooCast at Free against Volume Remote's $0.99. FlooCast also leads on iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.6). Volume Remote's advantage is rating (4.0 vs 1.0) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
