ACTIVITY Original Remote also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.6). Alias's advantage is review sentiment (79% vs 53%) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
