The Axium app turns your iPad or iPhone/iPod Touch into a powerful universal remote control. When used in conjunction with an Axium Controller you can control Audio/Video systems, Media servers, Lighting, and any other equipment via IP, RS232, IR, and Relay devices. Features: ‣ Control IP, RS232, Infrared or Relay devices ‣ Can be used standalone to control TCP/IP and UDP/IP systems directly ‣ Simultaneous connectivity to multiple devices ‣ Ready to use GUI templates ‣ Powerful macro definitions ---------- Warning! Updates to this app should be made with caution. We try our best to ensure compatibility with previous versions but a prudent cautionary measure would be to backup the current version using the iCloud service so that in the worst case scenario, the previous version can be re-synced to the device. If you would like to have the app in your native language we will gladly accept any offers for translation.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Home Network System at Free against Axium's $15.99. Axium's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (13.6 vs 15.0). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
