Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ANYCONTROL at none against U's 2. ANYCONTROL also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (11.1 vs 13.0). U's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (198 vs 1). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. U sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. ANYCONTROL asks for nothing beyond the download.
U holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: U has 198 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
ANYCONTROL ships an update every 5 weeks, U fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
