Quaver is a musical calculator and look-up tool for recording engineers and composers. It can calculate the delay times and oscillator frequencies that match a given tempo to help keep things in sync. Its pitch tool can tell you the fundamental frequency of any note in the MIDI range - or perform the reverse calculation. Finally, the scale tool can tell you the notes that make up a given scale and draw the key signature.
SQ Control

SQ-Control provides wireless mobile control for an Allen & Heath SQ digital mixing console. With simple configuration and set-up, it gives focused control of SQ consoles to those who only need access to some parameters, e.g. levels or mutes. SQ-Control works simultaneously with SQ-MixPad and the SQ mixing consoles. A total of 8 remote app instances can be used at once (with up to 3 of them being SQ-MixPad). Complex set-up of routing, levels and processing are carried out within the mixing console or SQ-MixPad by an experienced user, then SQ-Control can be configured and used by non-technical users or when only a few parameters require adjustment. Typical applications include simple source selection to more complex venue audio management. SQ-Control can also be used to control send levels to a single mix for monitoring, recording or live streaming.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: SQ Control at Free against Quaver's $0.99. SQ Control also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). Quaver's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
