Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: MINI DASH at 5.0 against LaunchpadControl's 3.4. MINI DASH also leads on update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 14 months). LaunchpadControl's advantage is ratings volume (5 vs 1) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
