Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Renamer at free against TVAirScreen's paid. Renamer also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.2) and update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). TVAirScreen's advantage is ratings volume (99 vs 18). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
