Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Portal at 4.5 against Remote Play's 3.9. Portal also leads on review sentiment (64% vs 50%) and ratings volume (65 vs 11). Remote Play's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
