Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Turn Off PC at 4.0 against PC Remote's 3.2. Turn Off PC also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs monthly) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). PC Remote's advantage is ratings volume (301 vs 4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
