Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: TapModes at every 2 weeks against UTM Remote Virtual Machines's every 4 months. UTM Remote Virtual Machines's advantage is device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.6). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
