Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Total Control at none against Zapwise's 2. Total Control also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). Zapwise's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 66 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
