Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: MouseHero at 100% against Remote App's 33%. MouseHero also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.0) and ads (none vs shown). Remote App's advantage is ratings volume (12 vs 1) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
