Control your Mac with your face. A mouse pointer (shaped like an eye ball) will track your gaze and your face movements. Then use natural face gestures such as winking, or opening your mouth to click on your Mac. Left Click, Right Click, Drag, whatever you want! Don't want to take your hands off your keyboard? You can also use keyboard shortcuts to click your Face Mouse pointer. With Face Mouse the Mac is more accessible for those who cannot or do not want to use a traditional mouse. Connect the Face Mouse App to the Mac App wireless through WiFi or more quickly through a lighting cable.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Remote Trackpad at 3.8 against Face Mouse's 2.8. Remote Trackpad also leads on review sentiment (16% vs 0%) and ratings volume (39 vs 4). Face Mouse's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.1 vs 16.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
