Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Remote, Mouse and Keyboard at 4.5 against PPTControl's 3.8. Remote, Mouse and Keyboard also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (14K vs 23). PPTControl's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
