Grill Control is a smart, battery-powered adapter for gas grills that simply attaches to the control knob. With the help of a temperature sensor installed in the grill, the corresponding burner is controlled via an app. With the separately available Companion Device, multiple burners on the grill can be linked together for even more evenly distributed heat.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Grill Control at every 2 months against HG Smartlife's every 10 months. HG Smartlife's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.6). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
