Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SmartFog at none against Smart Remote's 5. SmartFog also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.6). Smart Remote's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 4 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
