Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: DJ Kartier at 4.4 against FL Studio Remote's 3.4. DJ Kartier also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 months) and chart position (#207 vs unranked). FL Studio Remote's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
