Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Cloudflare Remote at 90 against PushWard's 1. Cloudflare Remote also leads on chart position (#17 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (16.6 vs 26.0). PushWard's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 4 weeks) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
