Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Saturn Remote at none against Remote Mouse's shown. Saturn Remote also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks). Remote Mouse's advantage is ratings volume (19K vs 1) and device support (4 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
