Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Forest Connect at free against Land Rover Remote's subscription. Forest Connect also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.4). Land Rover Remote's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 9 months) and ratings volume (48K vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
