Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: HomeControl2.0 at none against Three's shown. HomeControl2.0 also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Three's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
