Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Helmsman Remote at none against LTS Control's 5. Helmsman Remote also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 18.0). LTS Control's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 31 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
