Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: RemoteBoot WOL at none against Turn Off PC's 8. RemoteBoot WOL also leads on rating (4.4 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (33 vs 4). Turn Off PC's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 11 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
