Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Bear Control at none against Units's 3. Bear Control also leads on ads (none vs shown). Units's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (13.5 vs 15.1). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
