RemoteXY is a platform for creating and using graphical user interfaces (GUIs) for microcontroller devices. If you want to connect to a device, install the app and follow the instructions from the device developer. If you are a developer, use the RemoteXY platform to its full potential. Create custom user graphical interface (GUI) using the editor located at https://remotexy.com The editor will automatically create a source code template for the Arduino IDE. The source code contains support for the selected communication method for the selected controller and includes a fully functional graphical interface. Integrate your task with the graphical interface, it's very easy following the detailed documentation and examples. Upload the source code to the board. Then use this application to connect to your board and control it using your graphical interface. Develop graphical control interfaces for various devices, both for yourself and for your clients. Supported connection methods: - Internet anywhere over Cloud Server; - WiFi client and access point; - Bluetooth; - Ethernet by IP or URL; - USB OTG; Supported boards: - Arduino UNO, MEGA, Leonardo, Pro Mini, Nano, MICRO and compatible AVR boards; - ESP8266 boards ; - ESP32 boards; - STM32F1 boards; - nRF51822 boards.

WattGuru turns your iPhone, iPad and Mac into a practical toolbox for electricity and energy. Calculate values, document meter readings and save calculation cases clearly – without a WattGuru account, advertising or tracking. ELECTRICAL TOOLS - Ohm's law from any two known values - Power and current for DC, single-phase AC and three-phase AC - Cable cross-section, voltage drop and maximum cable length - Energy, runtime, battery charging and consumption costs - Series and parallel resistor networks plus voltage dividers - Conversion of electrical units METERS AND COSTS Record household, sub, appliance, generation and storage meters. Log standard and off-peak readings, follow consumption and costs in charts, and exchange your own data using CSV when needed. PROJECTS AND REFERENCE Save calculator results together with inputs and assumptions in projects. The built-in reference explains voltage, current, power, energy, cables, protective measures and safe measurement in clear language. PRIVATE AND AVAILABLE ACROSS DEVICES Your data stays on your device by default. Optional iCloud sync keeps meters, tariffs and projects in step across your own Apple devices. cgNetsphere does not receive this content. WattGuru includes no advertising, tracking or analytics services. WattGuru is a calculation, planning and documentation aid. Work on electrical installations must be carried out by qualified people. Applicable standards, protective measures and manufacturer instructions always take precedence.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: WattGuru at fortnightly against RemoteXY's every 2 months. RemoteXY's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
