Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: AirChord at 82% against Go Control's 21%. AirChord also leads on rating (4.6 vs 2.6) and ratings volume (99 vs 25). Go Control's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 5 months). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
