Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Modern Forms at 4.2 against Satellite Remote's 2.3. Modern Forms also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (4K vs 3). Satellite Remote's advantage is iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
