Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Freefly Wave at Free against Scout Cam Control's $9.99. Freefly Wave also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 7 months). Scout Cam Control's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.5). On ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
