Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: ACE at 5.0 against SwitcheOn's 4.5. ACE also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported). SwitcheOn's advantage is ratings volume (30 vs 5) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
ACE holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SwitcheOn has 30 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 80% and 80% positive.
