Auf iPhone und iPad werden geplante Abläufe nur bei geöffneter App ausgeführt. Für die Steuerung externer Geräte sind kompatible Geräte und eine passende Netzwerk- oder MIDI-Verbindung erforderlich. Remotes senden ihre Bedienbefehle an den Stage-Control-Host; dieser führt die Geräteaktionen aus. Ein lokaler Host auf iPhone oder iPad muss dafür geöffnet bleiben. Die verfügbaren Gerätefunktionen hängen vom jeweiligen Modell und dessen Konfiguration ab.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Stage Control at none against USB Sharp's 6. Stage Control also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks). USB Sharp's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price there is nothing between them.
