Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Ghost Controls at 2.9 against Airstream Connected's 2.4. Ghost Controls also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). Airstream Connected's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 8 months) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
