Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Silent Control at none against Cockroach Smasher's 1. Silent Control also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 8 months). Cockroach Smasher's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
