Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Saturn Remote at 5.0 against PC Remote's 3.2. Saturn Remote also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs monthly). PC Remote's advantage is ratings volume (301 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
