Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: FullControl at 4.5 against Remouse's 3.0. FullControl also leads on ratings volume (220 vs 2) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). Remouse's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 4 weeks). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
