Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: S4_control at none against Decibel Meter dB Sky's 1. S4_control also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 17.0). Decibel Meter dB Sky's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 9 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
