Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Remote Mouse at 68% against QCY's 18%. Remote Mouse also leads on rating (4.6 vs 2.8) and ratings volume (19K vs 320). QCY's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
