Verdict
The clearest difference is price: TapModes at Free against Remote App (PRO)'s $9.99. TapModes also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks). Remote App (PRO)'s advantage is device support (4 vs 2). On in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
