Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Pi at Free against JetRemote's $4.99. Pi also leads on ratings volume (1.2K vs 1) and device support (5 vs 3). JetRemote's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 7) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks). On ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
