Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Control Switch at 5.0 against Fixnat's 2.5. Control Switch also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 4) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.6). Fixnat's advantage is ratings volume (23 vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
