Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: QLab Remote at 4.7 against Avomote's 3.0. QLab Remote also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 months) and review sentiment (63% vs 40%). Avomote's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
