Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Alexa Control at 5.0 against Remotely's 4.2. Alexa Control also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (26 vs 5). Remotely's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (every 2 days vs monthly). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
