Verdict
The clearest difference is price: ControlPortal at Free against CyberSpy's $3.99. ControlPortal also leads on iOS requirement (12.1 vs 15.0). CyberSpy's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 10 months). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
