Verdict
The clearest difference is price: LiveU Control+ at Free against ATEMControl's $4.99. LiveU Control+ also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 4 months). ATEMControl's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
