The iRFR from ETC provides a remote for any Eos family lighting system (Eos, Eos Ti, Gio, Gio @5, Ion, Element and Eos/Ion Remote Processors). This application requires Eos family software 2.6 or higher on the connected lighting system. Eos 3.0 or higher is required for Focus Wand Please note the iRFR is NOT support by Cobalt. The iRFR supports most features needed for programming and playback. It does not support remote patching and system configuration. A tab-based system changes the displays from the full keyboard, moving light controls, direct selects, playback tools and a cue list. Security controls prevent un-authorized access to a lighting system.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: BVIGovReportIt at Free against iRFR's $49.99. BVIGovReportIt also leads on rating (3.7 vs 2.9) and update cadence (every 5 months vs every 10 months). iRFR's advantage is ratings volume (17 vs 3) and device support (3 vs 1). On ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
