Verdict
The clearest difference is price: PS Remote Play at Free against PilotsView's $0.99. PS Remote Play also leads on update cadence (every 5 months vs every 12 months) and chart position (#100 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
