The clearest difference is review sentiment: toongether at 83% against Hand Control's 44%. toongether also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). Hand Control's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. toongether sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Hand Control sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
