Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Leupold Control at 4.7 against NDOW Tip's 3.0. Leupold Control also leads on ratings volume (13 vs 2). NDOW Tip's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 75%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Leupold Control holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Leupold Control has 13 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Leupold Control's written reviews are positive against 100% of NDOW Tip's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
