Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Click Cast at none against Remotely's 3. Click Cast also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 8 months) and device support (4 vs 2). Remotely's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
