Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: RowIQFuel at none against Remote Rowing Coach's 5. RowIQFuel also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 months). Remote Rowing Coach's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). On price there is nothing between them.
