Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Gate Mgmt at none against SmartRemote's 3. Gate Mgmt also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0.0 vs 16.4). SmartRemote's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs monthly). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
