Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Discrete 8 Remote at none against UAFX Control's shown. Discrete 8 Remote also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and review sentiment (20% vs 9%). UAFX Control's advantage is rating (2.1 vs 1.8) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
