Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Remote, Mouse and Keyboard at Free against Mobile Mouse's $9.99. Remote, Mouse and Keyboard also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (14K vs 2.5K). Mobile Mouse's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On rating, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
