Verdict
Chilipad and Float Control both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 97% of Float Control's written reviews are positive against 34% of Chilipad's. Float Control also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 6 weeks) and chart position (#33 vs unranked). Chilipad's advantage is price (Free vs $3.99) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). On rating, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
