Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Oscilloscope at 100% against Steam Link's 43%. Oscilloscope also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.3) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Steam Link's advantage is ratings volume (3K vs 1) and device support (6 vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
