Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: TR at 100% against Matrio Control's 45%. TR also leads on rating (4.0 vs 3.2) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months). Matrio Control's advantage is ratings volume (9 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
