Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: dB Meter Sound Level Meter at 4.7 against Control4's 3.6. dB Meter Sound Level Meter also leads on ratings volume (404 vs 70) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 18.0). Control4's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
dB Meter Sound Level Meter holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: dB Meter Sound Level Meter has 404 ratings behind it against 70, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 30% of dB Meter Sound Level Meter's written reviews are positive against 39% of Control4's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
