Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: RemoteXY at 3.4 against Arduino BT Controller's 2.0. RemoteXY also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (22 vs 1). Arduino BT Controller's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs every 2 months). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
