Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: HyperRemote at none against DirectorMonitor's 1. HyperRemote also leads on iOS requirement (8.1 vs 17.6). DirectorMonitor's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 11 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.
