Verdict
The clearest difference is price: DiveShot at Free against Action Control's $4.99. DiveShot also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). Action Control's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
