Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Rockbot Remote at 4.6 against Hi's 2.7. Rockbot Remote also leads on review sentiment (67% vs 25%) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 15 months). Hi's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 14.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
