Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Anker Nebula at 4.3 against DLP Remote's 1.0. Anker Nebula also leads on review sentiment (37% vs 0%) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 9 months). DLP Remote's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and iOS requirement (11.1 vs 14.0). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
