Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: BZBGEAR Switch Control at 4.3 against Q's 3.0. BZBGEAR Switch Control also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). Q's advantage is review sentiment (19% vs 0%) and ratings volume (56 vs 3). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
BZBGEAR Switch Control holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Q has 56 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 19% of Q's written reviews are positive against 0% of BZBGEAR Switch Control's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
