Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Remote Mouse at 4.6 against Air Presentatation's 2.5. Remote Mouse also leads on ratings volume (19K vs 37) and review sentiment (68% vs 51%). Air Presentatation's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
