Made by the parents of a kid with Type 1 diabetes and food allergies, Saltie was designed to help make bolusing for meals and recipes easier. Saltie lets you log your meals, insulin, blood sugar, activities like exercise. You can also create recipes - even using other recipes as base ingredients - and Saltie will calculate the nutritional data for you. Saltie also features a barcode scanner that makes it easy to search a trustworthy food database of 400k foods. You can invite others to your account - for example other family members, caregivers, or medical professionals - to help you manage and make adjustments. You can leave comments on foods, meals, and other events. And Saltie includes several reports on your nutritional and diabetes data that help you visualize how things are going.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Saltie at none against Control Sugar's 1. Saltie also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 12 months vs every 29 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
