Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Media Remote at none against Gallery Sweep Pro's 1. Media Remote also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Gallery Sweep Pro's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 5 weeks). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
