Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: MixAlign at 5.0 against UAFX Control's 2.0. MixAlign also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks). UAFX Control's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (26 vs 1). On price, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
