Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: SPA Controller at 100% against Poolstar's 33%. SPA Controller also leads on rating (5.0 vs 1.8) and iOS requirement (12.4 vs 15.0). Poolstar's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
