Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: PumpOps at every 10 days against QuietCool Smart Control's every 2 months. PumpOps also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and device support (4 vs 2). QuietCool Smart Control's advantage is ratings volume (15K vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
