Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: BeMyDisplay at 3.0 against Remote Control Collection's 2.4. BeMyDisplay also leads on update cadence (every 4 months vs every 7 months). Remote Control Collection's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (9 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
