Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: RemoteControl at 5.0 against SmartRemote's 4.4. RemoteControl also leads on review sentiment (91% vs 68%) and device support (3 vs 1). SmartRemote's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (daily vs every 4 months). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
