The Pitts & Spitts application lets you connect your pellet grill to your phone using WiFi. The system requires a custom WiFi adapter wired to the grill. Once the pellet grill is found, you can adjust the set point temperatures for burn chamber and the meat probe. This will allow you to monitor the current temperatures of both. The app can be used without a home WiFi network, but if one is available, the custom WiFi adapter can be connected to it allowing a cloud connection to roanokecontrols.cloud. After registering your device on roanokecontrols.cloud with this app, the grill can be monitored remotely.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Pitts & Spitts at 100% against recteq's 30%. Pitts & Spitts also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). recteq's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (25K vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
recteq holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: recteq has 25K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 30% of recteq's written reviews are positive against 100% of Pitts & Spitts's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
