Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Logic Remote at Free against VirtualDJ Remote's $9.99. Logic Remote also leads on rating (4.6 vs 2.5) and ratings volume (7K vs 121). VirtualDJ Remote's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 6 months) and chart position (#106 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
