Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Motion PController at none against EmuTribe's 1. Motion PController also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). EmuTribe's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 7 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
