Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SmartUs at none against Remote Control's 1. SmartUs also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 8 days) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). Remote Control's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
