Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: TRIGGERcmd at 5.0 against RemoteBoot WOL's 4.4. TRIGGERcmd also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 months vs every 11 months). RemoteBoot WOL's advantage is ratings volume (33 vs 2) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
