Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: iocControl at 2.4 against DKN Cloud NA's 1.5. iocControl also leads on review sentiment (25% vs 5%) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 6 months). DKN Cloud NA's advantage is ratings volume (96 vs 7) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
