Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Koda Remote at none against Pushover Notifications's 3. Koda Remote also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 4 weeks). Pushover Notifications's advantage is ratings volume (3.9K vs 1) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
