Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: AC Remote at 4.5 against M's 2.7. AC Remote also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (120 vs 6). M's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
